Kevin Craig - "Liberty Under God"

We support restoring Aid-to-Fair Funds.  
We encourage more year-round use of the fairgrounds and we believe the state should appropriate the funds necessary to support year-round use.  
We favor the ever popular events, tractor pulling and car racing, being held in front of the grandstand.  
We support the Super Farmer Contest at the Missouri State Fair.  
We favor an increased and continued emphasis on agriculture at the State Fair with areas designated to be used for agriculture displays only.  
We favor an increased effort to control alcohol abuse and alcohol use on the fairgrounds during the State Fair.  
We favor increased and improved support of funding for State Fair facilities.  
We favor continuing to support the State Fair with general revenue funds.  
We encourage a display at the Missouri State Fair that would show various breeds of livestock involved in animal agriculture, i.e. beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, sheep and equine. Currently, not all breeds are on the fairgrounds at the same time. This would be a good tool to inform and educate the general public about the different types of livestock involved in Missouri agriculture.  
We believe the 4-H and FFA livestock shows should remain separate during the State Fair.
