The founder of a Springfield-based western store is the newest member of the Missouri State Fair Commission. Randy Little of Republic was named this week to the commission by Governor Mike Parson. Little founded PFI Western Store in 1975 and has managed the store since that time, developing it into one of the nation’s largest western retailers. He also manages a one-thousand acre farming and ranching operation, and is a co-producer of the Professional Bull Riders tour in Springfield. Little has previously served on the board of the Ozark Empire Fair and is a graduate of the University of Missouri.
