Andrew County Fair in Full Swing

ST. JOSEPH, Mo - It's a busy week at the Andrew County Fair.

Food, horses, plenty of livestock and a good time are all a part of the history at the fairgrounds in Savannah.

Organizers say they have fair records that date as far back as 1917. Keeping the fair going is as much for tradition as it is in keeping up with the fun.

"It's the place to meet where everyone would come to gather," said Wayne Duncan, Andrew County Fair Board President. "Nowadays it's a tough competition because everybody is so busy. There's ballgames everywhere and everything else going on. We really try hard those of us involved with the fair board, the livestock committee, 4H, to keep this part of our community alive and keep it going.

The fair will be dark for tomorrow and Monday, but then kick back into gear on Tuesday with lots of livestock events scheduled throughout the week.

The fair runs through next Saturday.
