It takes a lot of work from area residents to prepare for the big show at the Missouri State Fair, and the list of winners is quite extensive.
KTTN has reported on those winners that we were notified of, but, we wondered just how many residents had actually placed in shows at the fair that we were not notified about. With a bit of research, we were pleasantly surprised that we have many talented individuals in the nine-county listening area that have placed at the Missouri State Fair.
The list is long, and, we have attempted to group them by county, which is in no particular order. With that, we give you the winners, who well deserve their honors.
