Missouri’s Agricultural Traditions Highlighted at the 2025 Missouri State Fair

The Missouri Pork Association is proud to highlight the pork industry at this year's Missouri State Fair, August 7-17 in Sedalia, Missouri. Join us for 11 days of highlighting Missouri's agricultural tradition, the dedication of Missouri's FFA and 4-H youth in their projects, and the exciting taste and flavor of great pork meals at two locations on the fairgrounds.

MPA will be in the Swine Pavilion sponsoring the Youth Swine Skillathon on Thursday, August 7 at 9:00 am and the 4-H/FFA Swine Judging Contest on Thursday, August 14 at 12:00 pm. MPA is also very active during Youth in Agriculture Day on Saturday, August 16. Stop by these events and show your support for Missouri's youth.

After all that activity, we know you'll be hungry. Come by The Pork Place, the home of the Sloppy Pig Sandwich, to enjoy a great meal in air-conditioned comfort. Menu favorites include the top chop dinner, sliced pork loin, smoked barbeque ribs, pork burger, pulled pork sandwich or classic BLT. Guests can stock up on new pork recipes or enter for a chance to win one of eleven prize packages by completing a comment card. Watch for money-saving coupons in the Missouri State Fair Souvenir Program available at entrance gates and at fair information booths. Also, match your admittance ticket number to one of 100 preselected numbers at The Pork Place to receive up to $10 off your next purchase!

Looking for a quick meal on the run? MPA will have our NEW Pork Stop 'N Go food trailer, located east of the Swine Barn. The abbreviated menu will feature pork burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, pulled pork mac and cheese, the Sloppy Pig Sandwich, fries and fountain drinks.
