Did you know cotton candy is over 120 years old?

It first hit the scene as "Fairy Floss" at the 1904 St. Louis World's

Fair, selling for 25 cents a box (roughly $9 in today's money).

Fairgoers went wild for it and honestly, we still do.

Drop a 🩷 if cotton candy is a non-negotiable at every fair you visit.

Hello everyone!
We just want to give you a quick update… Excavation has started at the fairgrounds and the lot next to it, removing the arsenic that had been underground for many years. Please refrain from the south and west end of the fairgrounds while this project is ongoing.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding while this process is happening. 😊

National Agriculture Day is a time to recognize and celebrate the vital role agriculture plays in our everyday lives. From the food on our tables to the clothes we wear and the fuel that powers our communities, agriculture is at the heart of it all.
Observed each year in March, National Agriculture Day honors the hard work and dedication of farmers, ranchers, producers, and everyone involved in the agriculture industry. It’s a day to reflect on the importance of agriculture in sustaining our nation and supporting economies both locally and globally.

Agriculture is more than farming—it’s innovation, stewardship, and tradition. Today’s agricultural community uses advanced technology and sustainable practices to feed a growing population while caring for the land for future generations. From small family farms to large operations, each plays a crucial role in providing safe, abundant, and affordable food.

National Agriculture Day is also an opportunity to educate others about where their food comes from and to show appreciation for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Whether it’s planting crops, raising livestock, transporting goods, or supporting agricultural businesses, every contribution matters.

Take a moment today to thank a farmer, support local agriculture, or simply learn something new about the industry that keeps the world growing. 🌱🚜
