State Fair Season

I love fair food, paid the gut ache price more than once, but worth it

Always too darn hot at the Mo State Fair.

I have a very vehement dislike of Sedalia, so I will forever boycott the MO State Fair. I have to drive through that hellhole every time I go deer hunting. And it is just a nightmare every time. Always something to make me mad. 

My buddy Shags at 96.7 mad the entire city very angry when he said on air "people from Sedalia vacation in Lebanon."

When I was a kid my parents took us to Ozark Empire just about every year. I know they didn't go for the food or the livestock, or the music. Now that I look back on it, I can remember them signing up for anything that was free or a give a way! lol That must have been the reason we went. When I got a little older I took my kids to Tulsa for the fair several times and enjoyed it enough.

That's our favorite too!!   My wife grew up on a dairy farm.  Years ago they would go to see the bulls.  They don't allow them anymore.  Too dangerous.

I share that sentiment.   

I'm ashamed to admit it, but every time I hear that a tornado has touched down there......I smile inside. 😅

Headed to Missouri State Fair on Saturday with the GKids.  We go every year.  I like going when the draft horses are there and watch them do the wagon hitch routines.  Get a steak meal, head to beer garden to listen to whomever is playing for a while, check out the commercial building to see what everyone is peddling.  And just generally walking the whole place checking everything out.

I love horses and especially draft horses.

Between you and @Ryan Miloshewski I gotta go to Sedalia to see what’s up 😆

Fond memories of the Ozark Empire Fair from a very young age.  Dad worked at Paul Mueller Co and their dairy tanks were always on display near the entrance.    That was my first prideful memory of Dads line of work when I saw those tanks at the fair.  But my mind was more on the rides, the funhouse and roller coaster and the A&W root beer in those mini jugs, and also extreme curiosity in a different type of jugs, you know the ones,,,,barely contained in the fashion of the time, tube tops.   And the smells….of livestock mixed in with corn dogs and funnel cakes, and the general suspicion that hung in the air that everything was a rip-off and a hustle.

Kehdes BBQ is a spot that would keep.me going back to Sedalia. Love their food and eating in a train car😉. 

We also like the Daum art museum.

Livie and have caught trout in the urban pond in Sedalia.
