The Wyandotte County Fair returns this year from July 12 to 16 at the fairgrounds, 13700 Polfer Road, Kansas City, Kansas.

Six sponsorship levels will be available to fair supporters this year, according to Bill Svoboda, executive director of the fair. So far, more than 20 area businesses already have signed up to be sponsors.

The organizers of the fair estimate about 40,000 people may attend the event.

“We are proud that the WYCO Fair showcases our diversity, creativity and strong commitment to industry,” Board President Jim Knetter said. “Our county is a fierce economic engine for the entire region. Businesses want and need a presence in Wyandotte County, and the WYCO Fair is the perfect place to secure that recognition.”
