There is always something going on at the Foundation, especially when it comes to fundraising events. We would invite all friends of the Fair to attend our two major events.

The “Building the Future” Banquet and Auction, held the night before the Fair, is our signature “fair-eve” fundraiser. The Governor’s Ham Breakfast, held the second Thursday of the Fair, brings together more than 900 guests in a celebration of Missouri agriculture.

Proceeds for all Foundation events goes back to achieving our goal – preserving blue ribbon memories.
