The Ozark Empire Fair: An Award-Winning Fair
Quilters and jam-makers across 417-land probably already knew this, but it turns out all those exhibits at the Ozark Empire Fair are good for more than the air conditioning in the E-Plex.
Turns out the fair won six awards of distinction for its exhibits at a recent industry convention in Las Vegas.
Congrats to the Ozark Empire Fair!
