Nixa Sucker Day

Event Time: 10am - 5pm
Dates: Saturday, May 19, 2012 - Saturday, May 19, 2012
Location: Nixa, Missouri
Admission: Free

A local barber named Finis Gold started Nixa Sucker Day in 1957, and it has since been a longstanding tradition with the people of Nixa, Missouri. Locals would often close up shop and skip school for the day to go grabbin’ for Suckers. The fish were then frozen until there was enough for a big fish fry. Nixa Sucker Day was the result of this annual tradition. This event provides fun for the whole family, along with good food and lots of entertainment.
