Pretty close to the mean population center of the country.... should draw a crowd.

Only 335 miles for us. We'll probably go.
We have gone by the fairgrounds many times on our way to Arkansas but have not seen the grounds.
We camped at the Des Moines rally six nights in the July heat.
Motel this time
There's a group of motels 2 miles from the fairgrounds.

Hard to say.
Des Moines did not draw a big crowd and I don't remember Sedalia having big numbers, but both were hot in July.
Sedalia heat was brutal and we did not get much sleep due to the heat.

I may well go. It is only 10 hours away. A long day ride.

Take several days so you can enjoy the Arkansas and southern Missouri roads

That’s a great idea. Depending on the schedule of talks and what I want to hear I may only stay a couple of days at the Rally. The rest of the time I could be meandering my way to and from instead of my typical point A to point B.
