About St. Clair County Fair

The St. Clair County Fair in Osceola celebrates a west-central Missouri county on Truman Lake where the community of Osceola was burned by Kansas Jayhawkers in 1861 in one of the Civil War's most infamous incidents of civilian destruction — today the county's cattle operations and lake recreation on the Osage River arm of Truman Lake define a community that has long since rebuilt.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair honoring the agricultural traditions and Civil War resilience of a west-central Missouri county.

Visitor Tips
