Update from the Kansas Beef Expo:
“Were just days away from the kickoff of the 2020 Kansas Beef Expo!! Just a few things to update on today.
1) We have moved to an online entry system this year, if you have not created an account online we ask that you do so as soon as you can. If you have already pre-entered this is already done, if not it will speed up check in tremendously if you do. You can set up your account, do your online entries and pay any fees either online or at the show. If you have changes or corrections to any entries you can make those changes online or we can make the changes at check in time. It would speed up check in tremendously if online accounts are created prior to check in. Visit the web site here to create your account – www.showman.app/shows#/kansas-beef-expo
2) If you are stalling or showing out of your trailer we ask that you try your best to keep all trailers to the South of the Prairie Pavilion. We can utilize any space we need as far East and West but please try to keep trailers to the South of the building. If you are not showing or stalling in your trailer there is ample space to park trailers to the North on the Midway of the Fairgrounds. All vehicle parking will be to the North of the Prairie Pavilion on the pavement. If there is grass areas roped off we ask that you please respect those boundaries and not park or stall in those areas. We will not be monitoring parking so we ask for your cooperation and help to keep this as organized as possible.
3) We are expecting a large turnout for this years show, the main focus for this year and every year is for each and every exhibitor to have fun and go home with a great experience. It will take all of us to make that happen. Please be patient and respectful to staff of the Kansas State Fair, the crew of the Kansas Beef Expo and most importantly other exhibitors and families!!
Through a joint effort between the Kansas Beef Expo and the Kansas State Fair the following guidelines have been brought forth for the health and safety of all of the exhibitors and families.
1) ATTENDANCE – The general public will not be allowed to attend this years event. Attendance will be limited to exhibitors, immediate family and hired employees only. Attendance will be monitored by Kansas Beef Expo staff and appropriate action will be taken for those in attendance not listed in above category.
2) SOCIAL DISTANCING – Social distancing will be offered and enforced at this years event. Any spaces and areas that have been subject to close proximity by attendees in the past events have been modified for the event in 2020 to allow for Covid 19 distancing guidelines. Exhibitors will be stalled by family unit with a minimum of 6 feet between gathering area of exhibitors. Additional barn space will be utilized to allow sufficient social distancing in the event of stalling. Exhibitors are also encouraged to show out of their personal trailers to help minimize the risk of exposure during the event.
3) FACE COVERINGS – Masks will be required throughout the event and provided by show staff for those without proper face covering. Hand sanitizer will be offered throughout the buildings and restrooms.
4) SYMPTOMS – Any individuals showing any symptoms of illness will be asked to leave the grounds immediately. The Kansas Beef Expo will have a Licensed Nurse Practitioner on staff at this years event to assist with any screening of individuals or to monitor all safety protocol that will be offered by the Kansas Beef Expo.
See you this weekend
