On March 22, 1915, the 48th Missouri General Assembly set aside the first Monday in October as “Missouri Day.” Author of this bill was the late Anna Korn of Trenton. In 1969 the 75th General Assembly changed the date to the third Wednesday in October. Our Missouri Day Festival is an annual event, organized twenty-four years ago, to honor the history of our state and to celebrate the achievements of all Missourians. It is held on the third weekend of October, and has grown from a mostly local celebration to an extravaganza attracting thousands of people to our north Missouri community during the three-day schedule of events. In 1997 we added a marching festival to the list of attractions offered during the Missouri Day Festival. Eighteen bands participated that first year. Forty-six bands took part in 2007. This Band Festival is only a part of the total Missouri Day festivities. The Missouri Day Festival includes a craft show, quilt show, antique car show, baby show, flea market, a sizeable area of vendors and concessions, and a large parade on Saturday morning. We encourage you to visit the area north of the football field for an outstanding selection of other events and demonstrations for individuals and families alike to enjoy. |
