Fair had best attendance in years

Posted

Board President Glen Raef was pleased with this year’s Laclede County Fair. However, it was not simply because of the numbers of attendees.

“It was the biggest we’ve ever had. It was very successful,” Raef said.

Nor was it only because of the huge sales from the livestock in the Agricultural Legacy Center and the show barn.

“The livestock sale totaled $106,000. It was good,” Raef said.

And it was not the stands filled with folks watching the events on the track.

“The ranch rodeo was well attended. All the tractor and truck pulls, the draft horse pull – it was all really good,” Raef said.
