It’s back.

For the first time since 2008, the Callaway County Fair Board is bringing back a longtime staple to its lineup: The rodeo.

“We had enough people inquire about it that we think there would be enough attendance to cover the cost, and we had a lot of good sponsors step up for the rodeo this year,” said board president Billy Spencer. “We pretty well went back to the good old times family fun.
