Updated 8:54 a.m., Aug. 14th, 2023:
The Missouri State Fair Shoot Out Truck and Tractor Pull that had been rescheduled for Monday morning is now cancelled. Another round of showers Sunday night through Sedalia has resulted in poor conditions at the Grandstand. Fair officials will continue to monitor conditions to determine if the Pro Pulling League event scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m. can take place.

Tickets and pit wristbands for Sunday’s event will be honored for tonight’s contests, should the event proceed as scheduled. Refunds for those ticketholders unable to attend Monday night are available upon request by completing a form available on the Missouri State Fair website and mailing it to the fair’s ticket office before September 12.
