Updated information from the Ray County Fair Board
We are excited to announce details for the 2020 Ray County Fair. The health and safety of our 4-H and FFA members and their families are our top priority. Due to COVID-19 and CDC guidelines our county fair will look different than years past. We are unable to have our annual Demolition Derby and King of Dirt which are two of our fundraisers for the year. With that being said, we are unable to pay out youth premiums but are still moving forward with livestock, small animal and ham shows and 4-H Achievement activities. It is important to keep in mind that these activities are for the betterment of our youth and allowing them to display their hard work.
Livestock shows, livestock auction, ham breakfast and auction will still take place like years past.
4-H/FFA events/activities: Shooting Sports, Ham Show, Dog Show, Rocketry Shoot-Off, Poultry Show, Cat Show, Clover Kid Pet Show, Fashion Review, Rabbit Show and Pet Show only will follow the MU Extension COVID-19 guidelines and we are hoping to be in at least Phase 2 by the date of the fair. This means no groups larger than 50 people (this will be strictly enforced so arrive early) and observe any CDC distancing guidelines in effect. We request one parent/guardian per youth at the event. Masks are not required but if you choose to wear one it will not be counted against you.
There are many variables that could come in to play between now and fair time. Any changes will be communicated through 4-H leaders and FFA advisors. We can’t wait to see all your projects in July!

🌊 HARDIN – Richmond News Reporter Jack Miles stands on-location at the flooded Route J highway, off of Highway 13, just outside the Hardin Conservation Area. Hardin City Clerk 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦 expressed concern that the road will remain underwater until November. ⛔ Ray County Emergency Management Coordinator 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐫 said MoDOT will inspect the road after the water recedes. If the inspection shows there's a problem and the road needs work, then this work could keep the road unpassable into Winter or potentially some time next year. #RichmondNews #MissouriNews #Missouri #News #Flood #Floods #Flooding

🎆 RICHMOND – Thousands of people turned out in and around Southview Park in Richmond for the annual Great American Celebration. 🎉 The annual celebration, always on the Friday before the July 4 holiday, included a variety of free and low-cost family activities and concessions to benefit the community. 🤽♂️ The evening started with a free swim at the pool, with youngsters jumping from the rock climbing wall and surrounding the Heartland Mermaid in the pool and later at the photo booth. The community also took advantage of free watermelon cut into chunks by the new Ray County queen, Isabelle Rogers; a variety of music, including “YMCA” featuring the police, offered by Sound Worx; and fireworks. #RichmondNews #Missouri #News #Fireworks #FourthofJuly #July4th #4thofJuly #America #UnitedStates
🏃 Volunteers filled thousands of sandbags to address the threat of continued flooding from coming storms and upriver water releases from reservoirs and failed levees. Community, Ray County Jail and the Air National Guard sent sandbagging volunteers to Hardin. The 45 military volunteers came from Rosecrans Air Force Base at St. Joseph and Whiteman Air Force Base at Knob Noster to assist with bagging, Staff Sgt. Matt Carroll said. 🚛 “We have 5,000 bags over there for us,” Long said, “and they have 20,000 more over here. They’re being trucked over (to Henrietta) right now.” 🥪 Volunteers at Hardin City Hall, as they have for days, prepared lunch for the sandbaggers inside while outside another flatbed truck loaded with bags headed east along Highway 10 toward Henrietta. 🚚 On the parking lot behind Henrietta City Hall, Eric Ellis and Kenny Veach of Taber’s Products Inc., a business in the city, used forklifts to position pallets of sandbags for quick access. “We’re expecting 200 pallets over here,” Ellis said. https://www.richmond-dailynews.com/news/sandbags-for-henrietta/article_79dde334-8705-11e9-9a06-67f754131ed3.html #RichmondNews #MissouriNews #Missouri #News #MissouriRiver #Flood #Flooding #Military
Highway J at Hardin is closed. River backwater is over the highway. Volunteers coming from Richmond and other points east to help sandbag today at Hardin City Hall are advised to enter town along Highway 10. #RichmondNews #News #Flood #Flooding #Missouri #MissouriRiver
BREAKING: Missouri River continues flooding, testing Ray-Lafayette Levee, as Corps of Engineers announces they're increasing water release to 75,000 cubic feet per second of water from Gavins Point. Stakes and wood fencing are put up in stopgap preparation for potential flood water. Ray-Lafayette Levee District President Max Hockemeier says the wood fencing will add an additional 18 inches of height to the levees, and was used instead of sandbags because sandbags required more time and labor. #RichmondNews #MissouriNews #Missouri #News #MissouriRiver #Flood #Floods #Flooding
BREAKING: More than 100 volunteers in sandbag crews worked Wednesday and began again to work Thursday to protect the Lexington water treatment plant from being inundated by the Missouri River. The river is expected to crest around noon Friday. Waste Water Manager Joe Clifford said "If the river water gets into the water treatment facility then the city would be without fresh water after the two day reserve is used up." #RichmondNews #MissouriNews #Missouri #News #Flood #Floods #Flooding
🇺🇸 Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and community members united in Richmond on Memorial Day in memory of those who served, suffered and gave their lives in service to their country. 🦅 American Legion Post Commander Mark Foley delivered the address, starting with thanks to those who once served, still serve and made the ultimate sacrifice. He expressed thanks to anyone who lost a loved one in service to the nation. 🌎 More than 1 million men and women died in war, with another 1.8 million listed as missing or wounded, he said. 🎖 “These numbers should truly humble us,” Foley said, “as they represent people, individuals, who were brothers, husbands, mothers, sisters and friends. They were loved and they were mourned, and they are missed.” 🌹 Foley named community veterans who died in 2018. #RichmondNews #Missouri #News #War #Veterans #MemorialDay
BREAKING: Volunteers aid in sandbagging operation involving thousands of sandbags being prepositioned to protect the Henrietta and Hardin areas of Ray County, should the Missouri River rise over the weekend. This comes just a couple days after a disaster declaration for Ray County by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. John Gill, owner of the facility volunteers sandbag at, said "The Army Corps of Engineers has seen it necessary to increase the release out of Gavins Point which is the lowest reservoir in the main stem system. They've increased it by 5,000 cubic feet per second to 60,000 cubic feet per second from 55,000." "For here that's throwing gasoline on the flame. We've according to National Weather Service predictions we have major rains coming over the weekend and to add an additional 6 inches to the river that 6 inches can be a mile for us in the situation we're in," said Gill. #RichmondNews #MissouriNews #Missouri #News #Flood #Flooding #MissouriRiver #Volunteer
