Chuck Byrd, with Platform Promotions, the organization behind the Grub and Groove Festival, says he recognizes the problem with a shortage of potties last year, and the problem has been addressed.
Part of the reason for the shortage was the limited size of the fenced in space. Byrd said it was hard to find more space for pots that weren’t too close to the audience or vendors. Last year’s venue size was limited by the amount of rented fencing available in Wichita.
“I rented every foot of fencing available in Wichita,” said Byrd. This year, the fencing problem is resolved and the potty problem is resolved.
With last year’s attendance around 5,000 and this year’s expected attendance at around 8,000, the footprint of the venue has been increased along with the number of “pots.”
