The Missouri State Fair was recently recognized as one of
the best in the world by the International Association of Fairs and
Expositions (IAFE).
During the recent IAFE Convention, the Missouri State Fair
was recognized for excellence in agriculture education, sponsorship,
competitive exhibits and communications. Among the more than 30 awards
received, the Missouri State Fair was recognized for excellence in agriculture
education with the prestigious Agriculture Sweepstakes Award and excellence in
sponsorship activation with the Best of Division Award. The Fair also received first place awards for the Drive to Feed Kids
partnership, renovations to the historic Swine Barn and for the 2017 marketing
campaign, among others. The Fair was judged alongside other IAFE fair members
of similar size, ranging in attendance from 250,000 to 500,000. A
complete list of awards received can be viewed on the Fair’s website.
