The “Dotte Proud” movement is sweeping over Wyandotte County as more and more Dottes sign up as a community sponsor for the July 13-17, 2021, Wyandotte County Fair.

Sponsorships are only $35 and feature a one-of-a-kind limited-edition t-shirt or tank top that bears the “WyCo Fair Dotte Proud” slogan. Sponsors will also receive two tickets to the 2021 Wyandotte County Fair and community-wide recognition as a sponsor on the fair’s website and Facebook page.

Residents’ support will help ensure a successful 2021 fair, one of the county’s most beloved institutions now in its 157th year. Sponsorships for the entire family would make a great holiday gift. The shirts will not arrive until later in January, but you can download a photo of the gift from the website, wrap it up and spread the joy.
