Several inches of snow are predicted for this week but organizers with the Missouri State Fair are already looking ahead to warmer weather.
On Tuesday, the governor’s office announced several country music acts for the 2013 state fair lineup, including Toby Keith, Gary Allan, Chris Cagle, Randy Houser and The Oak Ridge Boys. Fair Marketing Director Tammie Nichols said announcing the acts several months ahead was intentional, to allow time for those interested to purchase tickets early.
