Since 1949, this annual fall festival has something for everyone including softball tournaments, truck and tractor pull, fiddlers contest, puppet shows, foods, live entertainment and a good time for the whole family.
"Members of the Mokane Lions Club and others are gearing up for the 64th annual Mokane Fall Festival on Labor Day weekend that some call "Mokane World's Fair."
"The annual three-day event on River Street in Mokane during Labor Day weekend begins on Aug. 30 and ends on Sept. 1. It includes a variety of events. Attractions include the barbecued meat dinners along with beer and soda, bingo games, carnival rides, and a softball competition.
"Friday evening will feature a demolition derby and a performance by the band Safari.
"On Saturday there will be a softball competition and a parade in the morning. A children's tractor pull and the Mule Kickers dancers will entertain in the afternoon. Missouri Farm Pullers will have tractors and trucks competing in pulling events during the evening along with performances of the Black Water band.
"On Sunday, the Flat Foot Follies will entertain in the afternoon and the antique tractor and truck pulling competition will be in the evening. The Coveralls band also will entertain.
"One of the long-standing traditions of the annual event is the Jake Hockemeyer Memorial Old Time Fiddlers Contest on Sunday afternoon." ~ News Tribune
