Around Fredericktown there are pockets of things to do. For example, if you like hiking, find a quaint ABNB in Arcadia Valley and visit the plethora of natural swimming and hiking locations near there. If you like history and wineries, stay in St. Genevieve. If you'd like to see the land of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, stay on the Mississippi River in Cape Girardeau. If you like food and family fun, stay in Farmington.
If you'd like to attend church, there are fantastic churches near the venue. Otherwise, there are great brunch locations in the area that will be open. Golf and wineries are also an option.
