Highlights
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the deep Ozark community spirit of a county where cattle ranching, timber, and small-scale farming have sustained families for generations.
Good to Know
Ava is the county seat known as the "Turkey Capital of Missouri" for its annual turkey festival. The Mark Twain National Forest covers much of Douglas County, and the North Fork of the White River offers excellent trout fishing in a remote Ozark setting.
Douglas County Fair Overview
The Douglas County Fair, based in Ava, celebrates the heart of the Missouri Ozarks' cattle and timber country, where the North Fork of the White River begins its journey and the county's rugged terrain supports livestock operations and small mixed farms in one of the Ozarks' most authentically rural communities.
