The Platte County Fair Association is a privately held, not-for-profit organization that has been hosting an annual fair in Platte City, MO since 1863. As the oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi River, it draws participants and spectators from a 100-mile radius and beyond, relying solely on revenue generated from gate receipts, concessions, and sponsorships.
With a board of 15 elected officers and 100 stockholders, all of whom are non-paid volunteers, the fair aims to continually improve and meet the demands of the growing and changing community. It receives no financial support from any governmental body, making it a truly community-driven event.
