State Fair

There is a building on the Missouri State Fairgrounds that just might be the most fun place for kids from 2-12, and it is free!  It is called “The Family Fun Center," and is inside the last brick building on the left side of the street leading to the carnival grounds.

One of the great things about coming to the Missouri State Fair is it is the opportunity for you to talk with your leaders and representatives from Jefferson City at many of them have booths set up through the Missouri State Fairgrounds.  State Treasurer Clint Zweifel is one example of those booths in the Mathewson Exhibition Center.

The first day of the Missouri State Fair is always an interesting one.  You usually see huge crowds at the Missouri State Fair for things like the Grand Opening or Two Buck Bonanaza Day, where not only do you get into the Missouri State Fair for $2, you can get deals through the Missouri State Fair.  This first day was no exception.

The first day of the 110th Missouri State Fair began today with speeches and music from the Marshall Municipal Band in front of the Fire Station on the North Side of the Fairgrounds. A large crowd endured the heat, as Mark Wolfe, the Missouri State Fair Director lead off with a speech that recognized the success and longevity of the fair.
