#10- Sedalia-The Missouri State
Fairgrounds-July 3, 2012
Our "home away from home" these
two weeks, has been the Missouri State Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds 396 acres,
listed on the National Register of Historic Districts, are the home of over 2,200
campsites and modern convention and agricultural facilities. From the Varied
Industries Building built in 1903, to the Missouri Department of Conservation
Building built in 2005, the nationally recognized architecture of the
Fairgrounds is unduplicated. The Womans Building , built in 1910 houses the
State Fair Museum.
The Fairgrounds hosts a variety of events
throughout the year, including livestock shows, camping rallies, sporting
events and races. And of course, the State Fair held in August.
We shared the a Fairground space with
the"Midwest Stud and Ram Show", which attracted farmers from all over
the country. Ewes and Rams were auctioned off throughout the week, and we found
it most interesting in many ways. The
"top bid" for one Ram was $40,000- he better be good!!! A Ewe went
for $2200! We were concerned for the sheep in this intense heat, but they were
in the barn with big fans on them-I wanted to trade places with them! We could
here lots of "Baaaa
Baaaa-and
we even heard one lone "MAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR" ! (For you, Mark:-)
We found the Fairground facilities to be
very "user friendly" and COOL!!!!
Enjoy the pics,
Blessings, Maaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyy
