Before You Go
Kennett is the commercial center of the Bootheel and was the birthplace of Chuck Berry — a museum honoring the rock and roll pioneer is a local attraction. The county's cotton landscape is among Missouri's most striking agricultural vistas.
What to Know
Kennett is home to the Dunklin County Fair, which celebrates the heart of Missouri's Bootheel cotton country — Dunklin County is one of Missouri's leading cotton-producing counties, and the flat alluvial soils of the Bootheel lowlands support cotton, soybeans, rice, and corn in one of the South's northernmost cotton-growing regions.
On the Midway
The fair features livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, cotton and row crop exhibits, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair reflecting the unique agricultural culture of Missouri's Mississippi Delta country.
