It is snowy cold February. However, state legislators are discussing your county fair today. A Senate Bill that would transfer the recognition of county fair associations from the secretary of agriculture to the board of county commissioners is on the House agenda for this afternoon.
The bill would allow county fairs that received recognition from the Secretary of Agriculture prior to July 1, 2013, to remain recognized as an official county fair, unless such recognition is revoked by the board of county commissioners in the county where the county fair is to be located. And you thought they weren’t doing anything important in Topeka.
