3 weeks ago Kids, this weekend I got to head out to the Sedalia DQ Grill & Chill. Now, normally I would be there to stuff my face, but this time I was there for a more important calling.
Jorge and the crew at DQ were hosting the folks and vehicles for the upcoming Midwest Dragfest. This is going to be a huge event coming up on June 1 and 2 on the Fairgrounds. And, the best part is, they're going to be doing this for charity. They're going to be raising money for the Children's Therapy Center and the Sedalia Food Bank. I think everybody can agree those are great causes to support, and if you can do it in a fun way, even better!

4 weeks ago I would like to state first, that this is a personal opinion, and anyone who disagrees with me on the content should feel free to leave a response. As a newsman, I use opinion pieces sparingly and only if I feel they are justified.
At last night’s Sedalia City Council meeting (May 24), I witnessed what I feel was some very unprofessional behavior by newly elected 4th Ward Councilman Larry Stevenson. It is the first time since I have been covering the meetings that a council member has been ordered to sit down and be quiet numerous times. This happened last night in both the pre-council and the regular council meeting.
