Small town living has both it's advantages and disadvantages, fortunately I'm still waiting for the disadvantages to make their appearances since I haven't come across any yet. One advantage I've learned is having the Jefferson county fairgrounds about 15 minutes from my house. in the 3 years I have lived here, I have attended several fairs and events at the fairgrounds, and had a most enjoyable time each visit.
Located in the Hillsboro Mo, the county seat of Jefferson county, the fairgrounds offer several events throughout the year, ranging from the county fair to tractor and truck competitions. I've attended a few events and each time I have had more than a mere pleasant time. sitting under the stars being entertained by a country music performer is a most delightful way to spend a warm summer night while stretched out on a blanket with a few cold ones by your side.
the only downside to the whole experience is with parking issues, the fairgrounds pack them in when the fair is going on, and parking tends to get a little tight and scarce, but as long as you have a single ounce of patience, you should be able to navigate well and overcome your aggravations with the other drivers..
Jefferson county fairgrounds has a website that is very useful when planning on attending an event there, and the ticket sales for the fair are usually discounted for a short time before full price has to be paid. if your looking for a fun way to spend a hot summer evening, then head over to the Jefferson county fairgrounds, walk the midways and get enticed by the smell of fair foods floating in the air, and the sounds of people having a good ole time.. and take a moment out and enjoy things for a while.. read more
