The Springfield-Greene County Office of Emergency Management has been busy the past few weeks planning two special events which occur annually.  The Ozark Empire Fair and the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival draw thousands of people and require a collaborative effort among public safety partners and non-governmental organizations in order to provide a safe environment for attendees.  In this episode, we talk with Kevin Bosley, the General Manager of Wade Shows to discuss planning and safety for the Ozark Empire Fair.  Next, we have a discussion with Laura Dannegger of Aaron Sachs & Associates along with Eric Latimer, Operations Section Chief for Springfield Fire.
