The event, now known as Cox Sucker Days, will be held in Nixa as scheduled this year, with a few changes. Ted Crass, chairman of the event said, “We’re proud to welcome Cox Health as our sponsor, and we know Cox Sucker Days will be our most successful ever.”]

[The coming events at Cox Sucker Days this year will include a special appearance by Pee Wee Herman and the Popsicle Twins, as seen on The Gong Show, performing the acts that made them famous. A booth will be set up by Backpage.com to point interested parties to suckers all over Southwest Missouri. Volunteers will be providing heart-healthy tips for enjoying suckers.]

WTF is going on in Nixa? Surely they had to think this was a bad idea for a name.

Will there be a competition for “Miss Cox Sucker”. Do they need judges?

Yes. The 19th Annual Testicle Festival was held on June 2, 2012. Sorry, you'll have to wait until next year to eat fried balls. Welcome to Missouri.

Its on 417 Local too which is a legit website so I'm guessing it is indeed real.

ETA: 417 Local just grabbed it from Fair City news so it could still be fake.

It's fake, look at the tags under the article. Still funny nonetheless.

Yes, the Testical Festival is still going. But the story he posted has tags on the bottom that say Comedy, Fake etc. I take it that this is just a joke.

I live 7 miles from Nixa. They do Sucker Days every year where they fry sucker fish all day long. Cox Health is the premier medical facility in the Springfield MO area, so it's conceivable. But I doubt it, even though I think it would be brilliant in terms of marketing the event. The fried fish is incredible, btw.

If I had to guess, razorologist lives in or near Springfield and Nixa (Jason Bourne's home, by the way), he wanted to start a cool thread attempting to show how backward MO is, and he passed off a long running joke as truth.
