Meet Me at the Fair!

Meet Me at the Fair!

State Fair

The Missouri State Fair in Sedalia.


I’ve always loved fairs. It was a big treat when I was a kid to go to the State Fair in Sedalia. This year, you can find Missouri Life at both the Ozark Empire Fair   (now until August 9), in Springfield, in the E-Plex and the State Fair  in Sedalia, (Aug. 13-23) in the Art Building. We are giving away artwork from Missouri artists at both fairs, so stop by the booth, say hello, and sign up to win some great artwork.
