About Polk County Fair
The Polk County Fair in Bolivar celebrates a south-central Missouri county home to Southwest Baptist University where the Pomme de Terre River headwaters and the cattle operations of the Ozarks fringe support communities in a county named for President James K. Polk — the county seat of Bolivar is named for the South American liberator.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from Bolivar's university community and the county's cattle and grain farming families.
Visitor Tips
Bolivar is home to Southwest Baptist University. The county's Pomme de Terre River headwaters support excellent trout fishing, and the surrounding Ozark hills provide pasture for the county's beef cattle operations.
