Hutchinson, KS
The Kansas State Fair received a “Fair-themed” painting from Northcentral Kansas resident, Gerald Moore, in July. The substantial canvas, measuring at 3’ x 10’, captures the excitement of the midway in grand detail, complete with rides and Fair patrons.
Moore, a multi-generational farmer near the Nebraska border, has been painting for many years. This unique piece was created in 2001. In late 2021, Don Lambert, a long-time friend of Gerald’s, contacted the Fair’s General Manager, Bryan Schulz, to discuss the donation of this piece to the Kansas State Fair.“We were honored receive such an incredible gift that illustrates the Fair in such a remarkable way” stated, Schulz. “We celebrate all things Kansas, and this is an example of the extraordinary talents and generosity of our fellow Kansans.”
The midway landscape is currently displayed at the Kansas State Fair Administration Office in Hutchinson.
The 2023 Fair is scheduled for September 8-17 in Hutchinson. Visit www.kansasstatefair.com to learn more.
