SEDALIA – Looking to save money when coming to the Missouri State Fair? Missouri Farmers Care Food Drive $2 Tuesday, Aug. 15 has some big savings. Bring in two non-perishable food items or give a $2 donation to Feeding Missouri, and pay just $2 gate admission. To add to the $2 fun, most carnival rides will be $2 a ride and select concession and vendors will offer $2 specials all day!
Missouri FFA will host their annual Food Insecurity Service Day held in the Assembly Hall, with over 700 FFA members and agriculture leaders serving those in need. Their goal is to reduce childhood food insecurity in Missouri and package 160,000 child-friendly meals that will be distributed among food banks across our state.
The Agriculture Building is a great place to learn more about food insecurity. There will be a canned food educational display constructed of approximately 3,000 cans of food donated by Woods Supermarket. All cans used in the display will be added to the food drive collection and head to local food banks after the Fair concludes.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, Aug. 15, and help support a worthy cause while saving big bucks on $2 Tuesday. Come see “Where Traditions Grow,” Aug. 10-20 in Sedalia at the 2023 Missouri State Fair!
