The Board of Directors is pleased to extend you an invitation to exhibit in the 49th McDonald County Fair. It is our intent to make the fair something interesting and exciting for you and your family. We fully realize this would not be possible without the participation and cooperation of the exhibitors. The safety of the exhibitors, visitors, and volunteers is of the utmost concern for the Board of Directors for the 2023 McDonald County Fair, and the Board of Directors will continue to follow CDC and local health department guidelines to ensure the safety of all participants. We wish to express our appreciation to the many advertisers and contributors for their tremendous response as displayed throughout this catalog. We hope you, as an exhibitor, will visit them and extend your appreciation for their interest in supporting the McDonald County Fair. The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the McDonald County Fair has a website. The information found within the pages of this catalog can now be found online at: mcmofair.com We are looking forward to greeting you as both an exhibitor and a visitor to the 49th McDonald County Fair.
