Hey Becca, I haven't gone to the fair - afraid of people I don't know with swords running around lol - I haven't asked my wife but will and see what we can do for you - There are lots of things to do in our area because we are rural and urban - Lots of wineries cedar lake in foristel highly recommend , augusta, defiance, around which are cool, Busch's wildlife is a great fishing hiking area with gun and archery range - Lots of hangout spots and a lot of different groups of people to tickle your fancy - bike riding trails, st charles downtown (festival this weekend is best of the year) , baseball cardinals , concerts galore - Let me see what I can do to help you settle in the area - I don't try to avoid people or issues but go in the water toe first, then feet, leg etc -
