About Shannon County Fair

The Shannon County Fair in Eminence celebrates the heart of Missouri's Ozark National Scenic Riverways — the Current and Jacks Fork rivers converge near Eminence, creating some of the clearest, coldest, and most beautiful spring-fed rivers in the eastern United States, and the county's small cattle and farm operations sustain a community defined by the river culture.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the deeply Ozark community spirit of a county where the rivers are the center of life and float fishing is a multigenerational tradition.

Visitor Tips

Eminence is the gateway to Missouri's most spectacular float fishing country. The Current River, Jacks Fork, and the numerous springs that feed them — including Round Spring and Blue Spring — are among Missouri's greatest natural treasures.
