About Us:

The Calhoun Colt Show Fair & Festival draws people from all walks of life to a small town in West Central Missouri each year to participate in the "Oldest of Its Kind, In Missouri" festival.

Mission Statement:
The Calhoun Colt Show works to promote and improve quality of life, enhancing a sense of community, and preserving the integrity of our small-town identity and heritage.
“The roots of civilization are elemental traits—good will, neighborliness, fair play, courage, tolerance, open-minded inquiry, patience.” These traits are best transmitted from one generation to the next in small communities, from where they are then spread throughout entire societies. To erode small-town culture was to erode the culture of the nation.” – A. Morgan
