Howell County Fair Overview
In West Plains, the Howell County Fair celebrates the commercial capital of Missouri's south-central Ozarks — West Plains is the largest city in the Ozarks outside of Springfield, and the county's cattle, timber, and small farm operations come together at a fair serving a broad regional population in the remoter reaches of the Missouri Ozarks.
Good to Know
West Plains is home to Missouri State University-West Plains campus and the Ozarks Medical Center. The Mammoth Spring (just across the Arkansas border) and the Spring River offer excellent fishing, and the nearby Ozark National Scenic Riverways are accessible from the county.
Highlights
Visitors can look forward to livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair drawing from West Plains' role as the regional center for the south-central Ozarks.
