The 3i Show was held in Garden City, Kansas, May 6-8, 2009. The show is a salute to “industry, implements and irrigation” and is organized and managed by Western Kansas Manufacturers Association. It is the largest free exposition of its kind in the entire state of Kansas. More than five hundred exhibitors feature the latest in equipment, technology and services and include truck displays, cattle-handling displays, consumer product demonstrations, crop protection information, a congressional forum, and vehicle and equipment demonstration areas. The show also features food booths, vintage race cars, tractors and trucks, free admission and parking, and free shuttles from the airport or downtown parking locations. The 3i Show is held in May each year, and locations alternate between Garden City, Kansas, and Great Bend, Kansas. PD
