It’s never too soon to start planning for the Bates County Fair. The 2011 fair is scheduled for July 10-16 at the Bates County Fairgrounds in Butler. Working with the fair board, Alan J. Mundey, Bates County 4-H Youth Specialist, has been collecting the updated fair information and has now made the 2011 edition of the fairbook available on-line on the Bates County Extension website at http://extension.missouri.edu/bates/fair.aspx.
The on-line version has information for both the open and junior divisions. Livestock shows, flower show, 4-H and FFA in-building project exhibits, and entry forms….it’s all there. A printed version of the fairbook will be made available at a later date. The University of Missouri prohibits advertising on its websites, but those who have purchased advertising will be able to see their ads in the printed booklet. So, if you are wanting to get a headstart on your fair plans, visit the Bates County Extension website today.
