Holidays

"Okay, now here's how your story applies to ME."

If you just happen to have a large evergreen that you want to get rid of, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is looking for the next Christmas tree for the lawn of the governor's mansion.

Unfortunately, the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) was busy over the Labor Day holiday weekend counting period which went from 6 p.m., Friday, August 30, through 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 2.

The traffic jam to the lake outside the station got me to thinking about my family's late summer getaways as a kid.

You can see KCS' Holiday Express Train in Higginsville and Kansas City this December.

Starbucks has the date set to bring back the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I think it's too early.

Wynnona and her band The Big Noise are performing a free show at Independence's SantaCaliGon Days on Friday August 30.

I had my share.

Isolated to scattered storm chances continue today through the end of the holiday weekend. No severe weather is expected, but localized strong wind gusts are possible with any storm. 4th of July evening continues to look dry for most of the area.

In what's become a holiday tradition combining racing, fireworks and a big kids' bicycle giveaway, Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to a special "Thursday Night Thunder" edition of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series this week.
