Capper Building to be uncapped for Fair The Capper Building will go capless for the 2021 Kansas State Fair. The Kansas State Fair Board agreed on Tuesday to pay up to $25,000 to have the roof on the 108-year-old building torn off but to leave the rest of the aging open-air structure in place for the upcoming fair. After the fair, the fair’s contracted architectural firm will explore costs for replacing it with a new building, also open-air but possibly made of steel and a synthetic wood wrap. A structural engineer examined the building in April and determined it was not structurally safe.
