This is a big weekend in Sedalia. The city is hosting a celebration to dedicate what will be a national landmark to welcome visitors to the Missouri State Fair.

Dale Yelton is chairman of the Trails End Committee, part of what he calls a totally grassroots privately-funded project.

Organizers hope for a turnout of 20,000. Those who do come will have lots to do.

Saturday morning the focus will be the largest all-equestrian parade in Missouri history.

The center of attention will be the Trails End Plaza on the northeast corner of the State Fairgrounds.

Yelton says they hope to make it an annual event.
