Happy Humpday! The Missouri State Fair is in full swing and Sedalia has been in the national spotlight due to a rodeo clown. Needless to say, things have just been abnormal lately.
Many of you are probably wondering who Glorida Rhoden is. The funny thing is, I was wondering the same thing until today. Gloria has performed as a singer, first specializing in Reggae and later in Gospel. You won't see her on the Pepsi Grandstand or the Bud Stage. In fact, she isn't performing at all. So where is Gloria at during the State Fair?
Saturday night (Aug. 10) was the big Randy Houser and Gary Allan concert, and fans came out in flocks to see this highly anticipated show. A line started to form early and made its way down the Midway. The introduction was done and you could hear Randy Houser finish his first song, so why was the line still down the Midway and back to the Hacienda?
On Saturday night (Aug. 10), a rodeo clown decided to put a Barack Obama mask on as part of a bull riding skit at The Missouri State Fair. The reaction to this story has already reached mainstream media outlets, and the performance has received mixed reviews throughout the state.
We are only four days into the Missouri State Fair, and while everyone has been enjoying their time, one group of men and women have been working extremely hard to secure fairgoers safety on and off the fairgrounds.
I was able to get out the the fair and experience everything it had to offer this year. I decided to take my four year-old nephew out and let him ride some rides and play some carnival games, the things I looked forward to as a kid. Little did I know, carnival games have changed!
It's good to be back! Last week I had something coming up and unfortunately couldn't get the "Would You Rather Wednesday" up in time. Due to those circumstances, like many of you, if I would have known the future, I could have been able to plan accordingly.
Today on my way into work, I decided to drive through the fairgrounds just to see what has already been put up. I saw some new food vendors that already have my mouth salivating, the Bud Tent is up, and even some carnival rides. I stopped to talk for a bit and got filled in on something I'm extremely excited for that is all new this year at the fair.
July 30, 2013 The Fruit Club made a stop in Sedalia at North 65 Cafe last weekend to deliver fresh, hand-picked Georgia peaches. The Fruit Club offers seasonal fruit from only the best orchards in the United States. This month they brought peaches hand-picked the night before and driven on a semi truck from Fort Valley, Ga. to Sedalia.
July 29, 2013 The American Red Cross came back to Sedalia, this time with a little help from the St. Louis Cardinals. The blood drive was held at the Katy Depot. The turnout was great and those who donated got a specially designed shirt from the St. Louis Cardinals.
