The 2012 Missouri State Fair officially began this morning in Sedalia. Our team is working hard, from the AgriMissouri team highlighting Missouri-made treats in the Agriculture Building to visiting with farm families and ensuring that all attendees have a great time. Here are a few fun snapshots from opening day. We'd love to see yours too - click over to our Facebook page to share your shots with us!
