Rick and I spent two days at the Missouri Main Street conference in Springfield, marking Missouri Main Street's 20th year, a program that started with one woman's idea to make small-town Missouri beautiful. We came home with some good ideas for making our own events more meaningful, which is part of why Chautauqua looks the way it does this year.
Thank you to Friends of Gallatin for always giving us great first Friday events, and to Friends of Christ Church for setting up the games for the kids.
Reply to this email, or grab me on the Square.
Thanks,
Ginger
