Our 4-H and FFA divisions are open to surrounding counties in Missouri (Adair, Mercer, Schuyler, and Sullivan). The Beef, Swine  and Sheep Shows are open to any county that is open to us (Grundy, Harrison, Daviess, Scotland and Knox at least) as well. The 4-H and FFA poultry and rabbits have to be on the fairgrounds most of the week! However, our open divisions are open to anyone that wants to attend!
