About Scott County Fair
The Scott County Fair in Benton celebrates a southeast Missouri Bootheel county where the cotton, soybean, and rice farming of the alluvial plain supports communities between Cape Girardeau and the Arkansas border — Scott County's agricultural productivity in the delta soils reflects the remarkable fertility of the Mississippi River's ancient floodplain.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, cotton and row crop exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair celebrating the distinctive Delta agricultural culture of the Missouri Bootheel.
Visitor Tips
Benton is the county seat of a county whose delta soils are among Missouri's most productive. The Mississippi River is just east, and the county's position between Cape Girardeau's university and commercial amenities and the rural Bootheel gives Scott County a transitional character.
