Governor reappoints Kansans to continue success of State Fair
Three reappointed to the Kansas State Fair Board

Citing the success of last year’s Kansas State Fair, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has reappointed three members to the Kansas State Fair Board.

“The Kansas State Fair has a family-fun atmosphere and allows people of all ages to experience the best of Kansas through exhibits, food and entertainment,” Governor Sebelius said. “The success of the fair is due in large part to the hard work of the State Fair Board, and I’m pleased these individuals will continue their service and work to make the 2006 Kansas State Fair the best ever.”

The Kansas State Fair acts as a showcase of Kansas agriculture, commerce and industry, and provides for education and entertainment for people from all walks of life. The Kansas State Fair Board oversees the planning and execution of the fair, and the following three individuals were reappointed to the board:

• John Bottenberg, Topeka
• Larry Steckline, Garden Plain
• Tom Tunnell, Topeka

Each appointee serves a three-year term.

This year’s Kansas State Fair, in Hutchinson, is September 8 – 17.
