The 2013 Show Me Honor Flight veterans returned to Sedalia late last night after their trip to visit their memorials in Washington D.C. With financial support from the community, the veterans visited the WW II, Korean and Vietnam war memorials.
Here are photos from their homecoming celebration provided by Kevin Walker.
4 weeks ago Kick your Memorial Day weekend off right this Friday night with some live music! Anytime that Sedalia or the surrounding area brings in bands or any type of live music, I'm always excited to go and support it. This Friday, Bottom's Up will feature three bands: Not A Planet, Austin Knob Band, and Blake Gardener and the Farmers. Doors will open at 7 p.m. with the opening act starting at 8.
A lot of people are doing some amazing "homegrown" grassroots efforts to help the victims of the Oklahoma tornado disaster. We have been bringing you the ones we know of on the air to help with the cause.
4 weeks ago The National Weather Service and Warrensburg/Johnson County Emergency Management and Sedalia/Pettis County Emergency Management Agency tracked a tornado that landed yesterday (May 20).
4 weeks ago The 2013 Run For the Wall came through Missouri yesterday (May 20). About 500 bikers made a pit stop in Concordia. The mission of these riders is to promote healing among all veterans and their family and friends and to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing In Action. In addition, the motorcycle ride is to honor the memory of those Killed in Action from all wars and to show support of those currently serving.
On Saturday night (May 18), the Sedalia School District 200 Board of Education approved the hiring of Ms. Kendra Barton, a fourth grade teacher at Horace Mann Elementary School, as assistant principal at Smith-Cotton Junior High School. She succeeds Mrs. Stephanie Jackson, who recently was named principal of Parkview Elementary School.
4 weeks ago Kids, last Friday I got to head out to Menard's and check out the very latest in their outdoor sales! They always look to help out Sedalians by lowering prices whenever they can, especially on all the stuff you'll need for the season.
So while I did spend most of my time ogling all the beautiful stuff in the Garden Center, I did wander the store a little bit, and took some pictures while I was at it!
Severe thunderstorms, 60 mph winds and hail the size of ping pong balls battered Mid-Missouri on Monday (May 20). The nasty weather included a small tornado in Pettis County and Tornado Warnings for Sedalia, LaMonte, Smithton and Green Ridge. Some lost power and others sustained damage to their homes and vehicles. Those that were prepared for the weather rode the storm out and may have been a little more at ease than those who were not prepared for the severe weather.
5 weeks ago Kids, we totally had a blast this weekend out at the Commercial Building on the Missouri State Fairgrounds for the World's Largest Garage Sale. From the ladies up front to the vendors to the shoppers, all in in all it was a pretty amazing time!
Memorial Day weekend is coming up, and many people will be hitting the road to join in some Memorial Day festivities with their friends and families. Whether you're heading to a friend's barbecue or attending one of the holiday events downtown, you'll probably be doing some driving this weekend. Unfortunately, you might be spending quite a bit on gas money to get where you're going.
