Tha Kansas State Fair
The Kansas State Fair is like a whole world unto itself. Just forty minutes west of Wichita the fair is close to the best little city in Kansas.
One can easily get lost in time and space while wandering around the 280 acres of real estate, buildings, rides, fairways and commercial vendors. There is so much to see and so much to do it all can't possibly be done in a single outing.
Get there first thing in the morning on the first weekend. That's the best time to see all the many different animals before or shortly after they are judged. There are cows of many different varieties. More than one breed of goat (my personal favorite among the mammals), sheep, and many beautiful horses. Even llamas, or alpaca as the ones at the fair are called, make an appearance.
After the buildings that are a temporary home to these mammals the birds have some real estate of their own. Inside the rabbit and bird complex you can find chickens of many different and quite interesting varieties. There are also ducks, geese and pigeons of lots of different sizes and shapes. You never knew there were so many different kinds of rabbits.
The fairway is something that Kansas can be proud of. Full of rides for all ages and tolerances. Tall scary ones, super fast spinning ones and slow easy rides for those more tame souls. There's loads of games to win prizes at, cotton candy to eat, a fun house and much much more.
If Competition is your game you'll find plenty of that at The Kansas State Fair.
A building dedicated to the domestic arts is full of beautiful hand made quilts of every size, baked goods, knitting and sewing projects all competing for the blue ribbon first prize. There are cooking demonstrations too.
There's the livestock competitions. The beasts are all groomed and pampered to look their best then paraded around in front of the judges and public to be admired. Who has the best looking cow, sheep, goat or even chicken. Whatever it may be. Some really beautiful animals are to seen here.
4-H is a big part of the Kansas State Fair. Young people learning about ranching, farming and life. A really great program. Boy scouts and girl scouts make their presence known also.
Kansas is a big agricultural state so there's plenty of vegetables and such to be judged. Can't forget about wheat in Kansas. You can learn all about wheat at the fair. Where it comes from, how it's harvested and what it's used for. Yep, wheat is a pretty big deal in Kansas. Not just wheat either, lot's of other different crops are on display here and there's lots to learn about them.
When your hungry it's not hard to find a good place to eat something. Food vendors of all kinds are strategically placed about the fairgrounds to ensure no one goes hungry while enjoying the fun.
One thing you won't want to forget when you come to the Fair is a good pair of walking shoes. There is so much to do and see you'll be on your feet all day racing from one cool thing to another. While there are plenty of places to sit in the shade and rest, you'll want to be sure not to miss any of the fun!
The Kansas State Fair is just one more great thing about Wichita Kansas.
You know ya wanna live here!!

small sewing projects for 9 year old boys?
We're letting his sister get out the sewing maching to make herself a purse, so that he's not feeling left out, what should we do with him on the sewing machine? Any patterns?
He's 9 years old...I hardly think he thinks of masculinity in that way already...besides if it's something silly he'd thinke it's great to help out. LOTS of mothers do it.
My son loves to make superhero capes, T-shirt pillows(find you favorite T, sew up the arms and bottom leaving a small opening for stuffing), and pillow cases.
