From 10 a.m. until 10 p.m., visitors can explore home-economics exhibits, compete in a cornhole tournament, enjoy carnival rides supplied by Sonshine Amusements and take part in a classic car cruise-in.

The fair continues through Saturday, July 12th at the Laclede County Fairgrounds, featuring livestock shows, nightly rodeos and tractor pulls, food and commercial vendors, and scholarship opportunities for local youth.

At big-box pharmacies, you’re often just another number—waiting in long lines, dealing with inconsistent service, and squeezed into hurried consultations. At Nobel Drug of Lebanon & Camdenton, we do things differently. We slow down, take the time to understand your needs, and care about your medications as much as you do.

Stop by today for a prescription fill that feels like a conversation, not a transaction.
