When the members of the Zac Brown Band throw a party, they really throw a party. Mix some good music with a healthy dose of southern cooking, and what do you get? The 2012 Southern Ground Music and Food Festival — a full-blown traveling music event, which will hit both Nashville and Charleston this September. ZBB announced the lineup for both stops this week.
July 30, 2012 Kids, this weekend was a busy one. We had two nights out at the Mark Twain Apartments Fundraiser out at Dukes and Boots.

Panera Bread is no longer a drive away to Kansas City, Columbia or Springfield. It opened for business with a non-profit day for the benefit of D.A.R.E and Childsafe on Sunday, June 24 in the Thompson Hills Shopping Center. Employees told me that they raised about $4,900 in total for the day for those charities, a successful test opening. I made it to the official opening day on Monday, June 25.
June 23, 2012 The 3rd Annual Sedalia Firefighters Memorial Ride was this Saturday. I got to go and spend the morning with the bikers! All told, it was a great success. They had over 200 people pre-register, and at least 50 registered that day.
