No visit to the Missouri State Fair should be complete without a visit to the Agriculture Building and the AgriMissouri Local Foods Showcase and Farmers' Market!

As a healthy alternative to traditional Fair fare, AgriMissouri is offering fresh produce direct from area growers at its Farmers’ Market Stand. Discover where farmers’ markets are located in your neighborhood and learn more about where your food comes from and how to get involved in growing fresh fruits and vegetables. http://ow.ly/ld6CL

Get to know your Missouri State Fair Director and his Office Assistant!

MARK WOLFE has been with the Missouri State Fair for eight and a half years, starting as Building Manager and then Fair Director since 2009. Mark appreciates the opportunity to have a voice in promoting agriculture and thoroughly enjoys watching and visiting with 4-H and FFA youth showing their livestock at the Fair. In his free time, Mark loves to hunt and fish and is a coin collector. He is most proud of a $20 gold piece he considers his favorite and most valuable.

NANCY BOUSE just celebrated her 17th year with the Missouri State Fair. She finds that her job offers her the chance to meet and sometimes work with an interesting variety of people on a daily basis. Whether it’s Missouri agriculture leaders, government officials, farm families, RVers from across the country or any of the many professional entertainers seen on the Fairgrounds each year, you never know who’s going to walk into the State Fair Director’s Office! In fact, during last year’s Fair, Nancy took a call from the office of a state elected official while a pink clown stood juggling in her office – how many people can say that? Her favorite thing about the Fair is seeing families laughing and having a good time together. She admits that she is afraid of the down escalator, but is not afraid of heights, and can’t stand by the ocean without singing at least one verse of “How Great Thou Art.”
On her State Fair Corndog: Ketchup, “of course!”
Funnel Cake Topping: Just a Little Powdered Sugar “I’m a purist”
Best Concert: Alabama in the early 1980s
Fair Don’t Miss Event: 6 Horse Hitches

Check out the Missouri Dept. of Conservation's Falcon Web Camera located at Commerce Tower in Kansas City. Yesterday afternoon they caught a glimpse of the first chick breaking out of its egg!

According to their website the peregrine falcon nesting box located atop the Commerce Tower is a partnership between MDC and NAI Capital Realty. The Commerce Tower remains the exact location in which MDC originally began releasing peregrine falcons in 1991. A total of 24 falcon chicks were released during the summers of 1991 and 1992. Since then, the Commerce Tower has remained a preferred nesting location of the peregrine falcons.
