3 days 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.

3 days ago 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.

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.
