Mississippi Valley Fair

Deep-fried Twinkie, pickle or Snickers bar, anyone? Thousands of folks attend this largest-in-the-region fair for its offbeat food, big-name grandstand acts (Darius Rucker and Miranda Lambert, to name a couple), giant carnival, agricultural displays and free attractions. The 92nd fair runs Aug. 2-7. (08/2011)
