We have a wide variety of artists and crafters who will open their booths at 12 Noon and will be selling their wares along Main Street. Some of the items for sale will be: original art work; handmade soaps, candles & lotions; handmade jewelry & dream catchers; hand made children's clothes; beaded children's socks, decorated flip flops, knit & crocheted items; fairy princess fashions & hand painted glass; and black & white photography. The Grundy County Museum and The Trenton Art Guild building will be open with exhibits and works of local artists. Both buildings are in close proximity to the Sesquicentennial Park area and we encourage all to take the time to visit both. At 2:00 PM, children's games will begin. There will be ring toss, bean bag toss, National Guard "Football Challenge", cheer with the Bulldog Cheerleaders, basketball hoops with NCMC players, face painting, photo opportunity, and a petting zoo. There will be lots of food for our eating enjoyment. Hy-Vee, Chumbley's Kettle Corn, DAWGS, Advocacy Center, Nutty Grill, and Grundy County Museum are the vendors (at this writing) who will be selling their food "on the street," some beginning at 12 Noon. Also, that evening, Trenton's Elks Lodge will be cooking up "barbeque & all the trimmings" which will be sold by the plate. 5:00 entertainment at the gazebo in the Sesquicentennial Park. At 6:00 PM, area teams will begin competing in the infamous BED RACES for the title of Trenton's "Bed Race Champion." This is sure to provide us with plenty of laughs for our viewing pleasure. In between "heats" of the races, we will be entertained by a kids "street skate" and local dancers. 8:00 PM will find us back at the gazebo, enjoying more live music. At evening's end, there will be a chance for an "Open Stage" which can include encores from earlier performances, a time for dancing to the music, or an old-fashioned "jam session." This is a FREE event - no charge to participate as an artist, crafter, vendor or musician, and no charge to the public for attending. Can you think of a better deal?

In conjunction with the festival, we also host a marching band competition for high schools throughout Missouri.The Missouri Day Festival began in Trenton in October 1984 to honor the history of our state. The event centers on the Rock Barn which is a limestone, octagon shaped building that is on the National Register of Historical Places. The third Wednesday in October was proclaimed Missouri Day in 1915 by the Missouri General Assembly. Governor Arthur M. Hyde, a Trenton, Missouri native, proclaimed October 18th as Missouri Day. In 1997, the Missouri Day Marching Band Festival was added to their list of activities. There are around 50 high school marching bands that compete in different areas during our festival. You can see many of them marching in our very large parade, which takes place on Saturday morning. For those who enjoy watching the bands perform, you can follow them to the C.F. Russell Stadium where they will participate in field competitions all day long. Trenton, Missouri is located on Highways 6 and 65 about 90 miles northeast of Kansas City or 100 miles south of Des Moines. Address: NCM Fairgrounds, 617 Main , Trenton, Missouri |
