STATE FAIR CABIN DEDICATION

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) and the Kansas State Fair will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010 at the public-use cabin on the grounds of the Kansas State Fair.

The cabin is a permanent structure on the fair grounds and is available for public use. The cabin is located on the north side of Lake Talbot and is a joint endeavor between KDWP and the Fair to provide the public with a new way to enjoy the fair grounds and the outdoors.

The cabin was made possible through a donation by Excel Industries and the cooperation of several organizations including the Kansas Wildscape Foundation, Gardner National Bank and the Kansas Department of Corrections. The cabin was constructed by the inmates at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility.
