Missouri Preservation has placed the Cracker House at the top of its Most Endangered Historic Properties list. After an announcement ceremony at the site of the Frank Sommers home (aka Cracker House), Councilmembers Donna Jean Boyer, Barbara LaBass, Byron Myers and Joyce Starr and city manager Bruce Woody hosted a lunch for the Preservation Board members at the J.C.Wyatt House. After lunch, DJ and  Bruce accompanied the Board members on a tour of three historic homes.

A council worksession May 17, 2012 was held at the Wasterwater Treatment Facility. After the session, councilmembers Jeff Penland and DJ Boyer toured the facility. (photos taken with iPad)

Parade line-up Saturday, May 5 was warmer than usual under sunny skies. After some adjustments in the line-up order, moving the Queen and Princesses near the front, we rolled at 9:30 although PJ Kovac had some trouble with his vehicle.

A fly-over by performers at the air show competed only briefly with the tons of candy being tossed by parade participants. Experienced council members had candy left for the people at the end of the parade route but Byron Myers ran out.
