The original and still the best, the Mid-South Fair has entertained families for 154 years. We’ve hosted superstars, launched careers, and made memories for people of all ages.
As a non-profit organization, our mission is not to make money. Rather, the Fair exists to create a cultural and entertainment experience that exposes the people in our community to items and events they might not otherwise encounter. In addition, we serve as a focal point for all sorts of organizations and communities.So when you visit the Fair, you’re not just having a great time. You’re helping to keep tradition alive. The Fair is governed by a board of directors, operated by a full-time staff and funded by sponsorships and donations. Since 2001, the Fair has given out $64,000 in educational scholarships for excellence in Youth Talent, Creative Arts, and Agriculture. 2009-2010 Board Officers Belinda Anderson, President Mike McGee, Vice President Chuck Roberts, Vice President Denise Anderson, Vice President Linda Sawyer, Secretary and Treasurer
