KVLS is a nonprofit “committed to promoting agriculture, the education and development of area youth and the Osceola County community,” according to the fair’s website. The organization said it supports the youth of Osceola County by providing scholarships and grants to youth including 4H and Future Farmers of America kids, as well as providing a show venue for livestock shows throughout the year.
In addition to the rides and all of the gut-busting fair food you could ever imagine, the fair is debuting Osceola Idol, featuring local talent competing for the title and a full paid scholarship to attend Launch Showcase in Chicago.
