Senior Day at the State Fair

Senior Day at the Missouri State Fair will not be taking place this year.

The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) along with the Missouri Association for Area Agencies on Aging (ma4) have made the joint decision to not sponsor the Senior Day at the State Fair event that was scheduled for August 19 in the Mathewson Building. This decision was made in light of the COVID-19 pandemic as we cannot conduct our activities (particularly the dance contest) while practicing social distancing. As the leader in promoting, partnering, and protecting the health of Missourians, DHSS must be cognizant of the health and safety of Missouri seniors since they are a population at higher risk of COVID-19 related complications. We look forward to sponsoring a successful Senior Day at the State Fair in 2021!
