Missouri State Fair

The Missouri State Fair is home to hundreds of exciting attractions, including stages filled with entertainers and live music, demonstrations, competitions, and more. While enjoying all the fair has to offer, fairgoers make their way to the Gerken Dairy Center to enjoy delicious ice cream, freshly made grilled cheese sandwiches, and ice-cold milk. The Center’s unique cow butter sculpture and live milking demos are another reason to stop by and learn how dairy farmers provide quality care for their cows, communities, and the planet.
