Helpful Tips!

It may be a good idea to bring a stroller for the comfort and safety of younger children. While there are no sidewalks, the event organizer notes that many visitors still use wheelchairs and strollers without problems. While this event welcomes service animals, they do ask that visitors leave pets at home. Some vendors may be cash only, so plan accordingly. Local artists will preform from 10 am-12 pm and The Countyline Band performs from 12 pm-3 pm. This event is located at 172 State Highway F. in Niangua. Visit their Facebook for additional information.
