SEDALIA, Mo. — Gear up for big savings on $2 Tuesday, Aug. 13, and get ready to make an impact by supporting the Missouri Farmers Care Food Drive. We are excited to offer $2 gate admission for fairgoers with a minimum donation of 2 canned goods to benefit Feeding Missouri!
In addition to $2 admission, be on the lookout for $2 carnival rides, for most rides, all day, and $2 specials at select concessions and vendors all day!
Missouri FFA will host their Third Annual Food Insecurity Service Day, with over 750 FFA members in attendance who share a heart of service to those in need. Their goal is to reduce childhood food insecurity in Missouri and pack over 100,000 child-friendly meals that will be distributed to six food banks across our state.
Stop by the Agriculture Building to learn more about food insecurity at the canned food display, sponsored by Woods Supermarket, constructed of 3,000 cans of food. All cans used in the display will be added to the Food Drive collection and head to food banks following the Fair.
Mark your calendars for Aug. 13 and be prepared to donate to a worthy cause and save big bucks on $2 Tuesday when you “Come Home” to the 2019 Missouri State Fair, Aug. 8-18, in Sedalia.
