About Monroe County Fair
The Monroe County Fair in Paris celebrates a northeast Missouri county on the Salt River where corn, soybeans, and livestock farming define the agricultural landscape of the rolling till plain that Mark Twain described in the landscapes of his childhood — Monroe County is adjacent to Twain's native Marion County.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and the friendly community spirit of a northeast Missouri agricultural county with deep connections to the broader Mark Twain heritage region.
Visitor Tips
Paris is the county seat near the Salt River. The county's agricultural productivity reflects the excellent prairie soils of northeast Missouri, and the Mark Twain Lake — just to the east in Monroe and Shelby counties — provides major recreation opportunities.
