Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that local traffic increases modestly during Friday night high school sporting events and annual fair dates. Because surface conditions in regional Missouri can experience seasonal ice or heavy rain, ensure vehicles are parked squarely within marked areas to maintain unobstructed lane flow. If visiting during major county events, arriving slightly ahead of peak start times will ensure the best choice of parking spots.
