New Managers For State Fairs

The state of Illinois has two state fairs and now one manager.

Patrick Buchen will become the new State Fair Manager for the events in Springfield and DuQuion. Buchen is no stranger to the fair or event management. The Fulton County native has served as the Executive Director of the Indiana State Fair.

Buchen also grew up working 4H projects including showing sheep, hogs and cattle at the Illinois State Fair.

In a press release from the Department of Agriculture, the IDOA says he has a track record of boosting revenues while trimming unproductive expenditures.
