What to Know
The Livingston County Fair, based in Chillicothe, celebrates the city where sliced bread was invented — the Chillicothe Baking Company introduced commercially sliced bread on July 7, 1928, making Chillicothe the birthplace of "the greatest thing since sliced bread." The county's corn, soybean, and livestock farming heritage is equally celebrated at this north Missouri agricultural fair.

The fair features livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a fair honoring both the agricultural heritage and the remarkable culinary innovation history of this north Missouri community.
Before You Go
Chillicothe is justifiably proud of its sliced bread claim to fame — the Sunbeam Bread Museum and local celebrations honor this seemingly simple but transformative innovation. The county's Grand River valley soils are among north Missouri's most productive.
