A three-member staff from the Geary County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau will be at the State Fair in Hutchinson for the entire nine-day run of that event.

CVB Director Michelle Stimatze said they’ll be manning booths and promoting everything Geary County and Fort Riley have to offer. They’ll be located in the Pride of Kansas building. “Many, many groups that are CVB’s and tourism and that kind of thing are in there. Also there’s some associations as well.”

Stimatze said they will put in 12-hour days at the fair. “It’s really exciting to promote your community and all the great things they have to say about Junction City and Geary County.” Stimatze said you meet many people from across the state. “It’s just an opportune time to put us out there.

The CVB staff will promote Milford Lake, historical monuments and that Junction City is Fort Riley’s hometown among other things.

The trip to the fair has been an effort for the CVB in recent years.
