Lillie’s among the several 4 H members prepping for the Wyandotte County Fair.
"There’s rides, you can be with your animals, there’s different show. You can earn ribbons," said Lillie.
This year fairgoers, organizers and 4 H members are dealing with a fifth "H," the heat. And when the heat is on, organizers like Wanda Schmieding say the rides could be off.
"Those seats are plastic and so they can be very, very, hot," said Schmieding. "So, the carnival may not open at five because they want to make sure the kids are safe on the carnival rides. So, we don’t want any burned legs or things like that."
Schmieding recommends fairgoers stay hydrated. You’re allowed to bring water bottles into the fair, and you can fill them up at one of many stations across the fairgrounds. Entry to the fairgrounds is $5 per car. You have to pay for the food and rides. For more on the 2017 Wyandotte County Fair, clickhere.
