Secretary Burdick delivers a foreword for the 1931 Kansas Free Fair book praising Kansas farmers for enduring tough times and pledging a worthy show. He has dedicated months to shaping a fair expected to attract hundreds of thousands and remains confident in his record as fair secretary. The Kansas Free Fair, once the Mother Free Fair, set a model for others with the Free Gate tradition.
Burdick secures the biggest outdoor night show for the 1931 Exposition in Kansas. From September 14 to 19 visitors will see Ziegfeld’s Follies and White’s Scandals on a grand scale, featuring 100 performers, Crevene’s Band, and acts like Cliff Gregg and Capron Ball troupe.
The Kansas Free Fair culinary department expanded under Mrs. Harry T. Forbes. The 1931 fair is expected to continue yearly improvements as women compete for honors and demonstrations in the culinary exhibits.
A fragmented note from the 1929 Kansas Free Fair mentions a distinction given by Leath, the superintendent, and references breeders and entries, with unclear completion of details about the event and attendees.
