It’s the middle of August, which means it’s time for the Missouri State Fair! And what a wonderful fair it is this year.

I’ve had the chance to visit with Kevin Roberts, chair of the Missouri State Fair and a Mizzou Law alumnus, and watch America’s Band, The Beach Boys. I also took the opportunity to stop by the Mizzou tents and got to meet many of our great citizens and alumni who support the university in many ways.

This year’s fair is particularly special as we continue to commemorate Missouri’s bicentennial — two hundred years of excellence and impact for our state. I’m so proud to support this great tradition of celebrating Missourians and to represent the University of Missouri in this historical moment.
