Today is day two of the Missouri state fair in Sedalia.

It’s Missouri Department of Conservation day in Sedalia, and you’ll be able to visit the Conservation building for live animal exhibits and demos. They’ll also be celebrating Smokey Bear’s 80 birthday in the conservation building from 10 am to 2 pm, and free vision screenings will be offered in the senior lounge from 9 am to 6 pm. There will also be a BBQ contest at 11 am in the Mathewson exhibition center.

Thursday was Mizzou day, and UM System President Dr. Mun Choi spoke at the fairgrounds. Last night was the opening day parade.
