Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, apple and orchard exhibits, local food vendors, and a community fair reflecting the agricultural heritage of the southwest Missouri Ozarks fringe.
Planning Your Visit
Mount Vernon is a compact county seat on I-44 between Springfield and Joplin. The county's apple orchards are a regional institution, and the surrounding Ozark hills support both beef cattle and diverse fruit operations.
A Closer Look
Every year, Mount Vernon hosts the Lawrence County Fair, which celebrates a southwest Missouri county where apple orchards, cattle operations, and row crop farming define the transition zone between the Ozarks and the Kansas border prairie — the county's diverse agricultural base is celebrated at a fair that has served southwest Missouri farming communities for generations.
