QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you a fan of fair food?
Matthew Sanders
The Missouri State Fair opened for its 123rd year on Thursday, continuing a Midwestern summer agricultural and cultural tradition in the Show-Me State.
Gov. Mike Kehoe is promoting the fair as the “Great American Fair” and “Show-Me 250” to coincide with the coming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The crowds streamed into the fairgrounds in Sedalia to begin the 11-day event Thursday, with people sampling fair food such as funnel cakes and fried Oreos. For many fairgoers, the fare is the best part of the fair.
Are you a fan of fair fare? Let us know by voting in the poll.
