Food
If you had to pick one reason—just ONE reason—to visit the Ozark Empire Fair, well…we’d hate for anybody to be in that situation. Here are some of our (and your!) FAVORITE reasons to visit:
The Candy Factory BRAND NEW!!!
Location TBA: club sandwiches and ice cream sundaes are two of the yummy not-your-typical-fair-fare found here!
D&D General Store
Just east of the E*Plex, and exactly what it says: soda pop, candy bars, gum, film, batteries, and so on!
Deep Fried Snickers, Twinkies & Oreos
Across from the E*Plex: all at the Funnel Cake stand…did we mention funnel cakes?
Dippin Dots
Near the Arena: frigid little pebbles of ice creamy yum!
Double D’s
On the path leading to the Arena, east end of the grounds: BBQ Chicken, blackberry tea, jumbo chicken clubs, and more!

Across from Guest Services: the Corn Dude is back! Have your corn on a stick and try a tri-tip sandwich!
Fried Green Tomatoes
East grounds, near the Arena: fried green tomatoes and smoothies by Hope Concessions!

Cool off in the air-conditioning: hand-dipped shakes, pastries, cold sandwiches and other goodies!
Ninja Express
In front of the E*Plex on the east: teriyaki, fried rice and sushi are a few of the things you’ll find!
Rudy’s BBQ
Across from the E*Plex: one of the longest-standing Ozark Empire Fair traditions is back! Have a seat and some BBQ!
Southern Missouri Beef Producers
