State fair to run ten days in Sedalia Missouri
The Missouri Fair will be extended to ten days in 1972 with the event slated to begin August 18. Fair Secretary W C Askew said the longer schedule responds to demand for exhibition space and rising entries across divisions. A new international pipe smoking contest is planned, and quarter horse racing will open the fair instead of after it as in 1971. The 1971 fair drew a record attendance of 379,256.
