A much-anticipated event is coming next week-the fair! Although Oregon County does not host a fair, Howell County allows us to enter its exhibits. From bakery to gardens, to livestock, to mechanics, to shows, the Heart of the Ozarks Fair has it all. It starts Tuesday at 6 pm and continues through Saturday. Here are some highlights of the week.
Remember that some days have an admission gate fee, and some days have discounts for carnival rides. Children under age six always enter free!
