DODGE CITY – The annual 3i Show, the ag exposition that for years alternated between Great Bend and Garden City, will no longer be held in either community, the Western Kansas Manufactures’ Association announced Tuesday. From 2012-2016, it will take place in Dodge City.The decision was made after significant consideration was given to exhibitor feedback as well as multiple other factors including crop schedules, other farm show dates, holidays, school events and multiple other annual community and state events already on the calendar, said Eddie Estes, chief executive officer of the Dodge City-based WKMA. In addition to outdoor exhibits, a new facility large enough to accommodate all indoor exhibits under one roof will be constructed in Dodge City over the course of the next year in preparation for the 58th-annual 3i Show. This facility will be located on the corner of U.S. 283 and U.S. 56/400 bypass.According to Estes, this facility will be the permanent show site, “eliminating any confusion among exhibitors and attendees about where the 3i Show will be held from year to year.”
