Bates County Fair

 The Bates County Cattlewomen will sell 10 dollar, Ruben Sandwiches Tuesday, July 7th  at this year’s Bates County Fair’s Bash. Look for their booth on location following the parade and until the Ruben’s are sold out! The Cattlemen will serve Hamburgers, Cheese Burgers, smoked meat and Ribeye Sandwich with chips and a drink at their booth.  All prices will be posted.

Then come back to the Fair on Thursday evening July 9th for the traditional Bates County Cattlemen’s Dinner. 10 ounce Ribeye  steaks will hit the grill from 5 pm until 7 pm. This year, the  Cattlemen have partnered with Hertzog Meat Company to feature premium Angus Steaks, aged 44 days through dry and wet methods. This process is normally offered to high-end restaurants. So you know the dollars you spend

This bone-in Ribeye is on display at the meat counter of the Hertzog Meat Company on Fort Scott Street, prior to de-boning and making its way to the Bates County Cattlemen’s Grill.

The Bates County Fair will be held July 6th through July 10th at the Bates County Fairgrounds .
