Inside/Out Missouri ( Review of Ozark Empire Fair 2026)

-

                   WELCOME TO INSIDE/OUT MISSOURI

Annie and I started this idea many years ago we wanted to do a show about TRAVELING!

The idea was pretty simple like many shows we saw on YOUTUBE .

We wanted to bring you VIDEOS, BLOGS,REVIEWS, and share our adventures with you.

We did start the project you can find the link to YOUTUBE HERE and to our FACEBOOK HERE.

I have always kinda gone against the grain with anything I do, but this project got pushed to the side. We did videos, we blogged, we brought you some pretty cool adventures but we really never pushed the envelopes to see how far it could go. 

LINK HERE TO THE OZARK EMPIRE FAIR GROUNDS WEB PAGE

On July 30th 2026 the Fair was free entry and so we decided to go check out the fair grounds. 

HOURS OF OPERATION: 

11AM to 10PM for the duration of the Fair it operates from July 30th to August 8th.

PARKING:

The fair charges $5 to park

ENTRANCE FEES:

Adults can buy tickets in advance for $12 however gate prices are $17

Kids under 12 years of age in advance $3,50 at the gate $5.50

MONDAY AUG 3rd 2026 the fair offers a 3 dollar day where everything is 3 dollars entrance fees, parking,and rides.

I visited the fair on July 30th it was a FREE night and found the following:

Digital Tickets have arrived. You have to go up to a Kiosk and enter a credit card or debit card or pay cash. A new card is printed and than you have to use the card at the rides.

Most of the rides are 4 to 6 tickets per ride per person. 

It seemed to me there was not that many rides however.

Inside/Out Missouri Christmas Dinner at a TA TRUCK STOP

-
Image
Annie and I decided to spend our Christmas dinner at this TA Truck Stop located at 1501 E Mount Vernon Blvd, Mount Vernon MO. There is a real interesting story with this particular TA Truck Stop. It has a 66 foot pyramid type monument that has miles to cities and towns.  This is considered a one stop as part of the Route 66 road trip from Joplin to Saint Louis on the I-44 freeway. As the story goes the owners built a replica of the stone monument that was part of the Ozark Trail Obelisks.  However in building the exact replica of the 66 foot monument it has incorrect directions on the monument. It is something to see and to hear the story behind even adds more to the fire.  So the story goes that TA on Christmas did a buffet for the truck drivers so Annie and I had to investigate. We have in the past bought Beef Brisket, Burnt Ends, and Smoked Turkey from the deli.  If you never have followed us we live a Keto and Carnivore Lifestyle. CLICK HERE FOR HEALTHY FOOD 4 HE...
