The Perry’s Pork Rinds Country Store will have a soft opening following the Bronson Day event on Saturday and Sunday. The store is in the background, left and sits on Hwy. 54 that runs through Bronson.

Kelly and Thaddeus Perry have been pursuing a building purchase to manufacture their food products for several years.

Yesterday, they received final state approval for a manufacture license to make fudge and a retail license for the new building store front in Bronson. They will be having a soft opening of the business this weekend, following Bronson Day, a community event in this small town in western Bourbon County.

“We received our manufacture license for our fudge and our retail license for the front portion of the country store…(and) we will have a open house on Saturday and Sunday this weekend. We are planning for a grand opening on July 30.”

The store open house will have limited items this Saturday from 3 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. and Monday 5-9 p.m.

History of the Business

The Perry’s started making pork rinds at the Hume Fair in 2017 and discovered the demand and profit, Kelly said. “So it made sense to push forward. However, because pork rinds are technically a meat product we cannot wholesale or go on any store shelf until we physically built a USDA inspected meat processing facility. Although we do not slaughter any animals, we still have to follow all safety and federal rules regarding meat so we decided to put every penny into building a facility.”

During the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Perry’s discovered something.

“As we came closer to that reality, we realized, through the pandemic, what a food desert we really have on the western side of the county and felt we could change this! We decided to not only build a pork rind meat production plant but a retail store front for our biggest supporters, our community!”

The store will be open following the vendors leaving town on Saturday.

“Once the Bronson Day vendors close at 3 p.m., we will then open our store,” Kelly said. “We will not be fully stocked, but we will have bags of ice, coffee, tea, lemonade, fountain soda, canned soda, ready-to-eat foods and snacks foods.”

“We are fully licensed for wholesale with over 200 fudge flavor options made in house,” she said. “We will also carry Cashmere Popcorn and Stumpy’s Smoked Cheese, fountain soda, can soda, water, bagged ice, candy, salt water taffy, nostalgic candy, bread, milk, eggs, butter, ice cream, can veggies and fresh produce. We will keep a few odds and ends like medicines, dish soap, charcoal lighter fluid toilet paper, detergent, etc. We will offer gift baskets and eventually other household goods.”

No beer or cigarettes will be sold by the Perry’s.

“We get asked a lot if we will sell beer or cigarettes and the answer will always be no,” she said. “It is something we feel personally about and don’t care to provide it to the community. We know the demand is there, but fully believe we can thrive without those options.”

“This will allow us to employ younger community members who are eager to work,” Kelly said. “It’s important to teach work ethics and responsibilities to the next generation.”

“We should have all of our items available for sale for our grand opening celebration on July 30,” she said.

Financing Their New Business

The Perry’s saved money for the down payment for their business and borrowed the rest from Iola Community National Bank.

“They worked with us and believed in our business plan from the beginning,” she said.” We also used another loan through the Ft. Scott Chamber of Commerce E-Community loan to help us finish the project and have enough capital to fill the store front upon opening. Out of the second loan we were granted $9,000 in loan forgiveness through the Patterson Family Foundation (through the Healthy Bourbon County Action Team).

They currently have six employees and anticipate substantial growth, she said. They will soon go from two production days to five and offer wholesale pork rinds and fudge nationwide.

On the Horizon

“We will not be stopping with just the store front,” she said. “We are already working on phase two for our property, which is a full hook up RV park for travelers. This will utilize the large property we have as well as bring revenue to the city with utilities.”

Since May, Kalyn Turner has been the new manager of Common Ground Coffee Co., 12 E. Wall.

Turner is from a small town around Burlington, KS.

She graduated from South Coffey County High School, then got a graphic communication degree from Pittsburg State University.

“I have worked at a lot of random stuff..but every single experience has led me to this one,” she said.

Her duties, she said, include “being a light to the community to help them find their purpose and tell people about Jesus, while selling coffee.”

“I have a heart for worship, leading to Jesus,” she said. “I love Him, and He is letting me serve Him through coffee.”

There are approximately 15 employees at Common Ground, which is a popular community meeting place in downtown Fort Scott. The coffee house is a ministry of Fort Scott Church of the Nazarene.

Starting Today

Common Ground Coffee Co. is improving its drive through experience.

Beginning today, July 5, the drive through window will be an online and call-in pick up lane ONLY.

For the vast majority of Fort Scottians, sitting down with a “cuppa” coffee is still the preferred way to get a drink and meet with friends.

“You can still come in and get coffee,” she said. “We’d love for people to come in.”

Union State Bank Expands

June 30, 2022 Loretta George Leave a comment

Union State Bank, the Fort Scott Branch, is in the final stages of an addition of 1,200 square feet to its building.

“We were running into problems with space,” CEO and President Bryan Holt said. “We looked at every way possible to not expand the foot print.”

But the bank administration decided to add a 20 by 60 foot addition for its growing support staff and also to upgrade security.

The lobby was shortened and reconfigured to have more space for employee work stations, and the addition added five new offices and two new bathrooms.

In October 2021 the project was started.

“It will be 99 percent completed in 30 days,” Vice President of Information Technology Dustin McClure said on June 23. McClure was also the project manager of the expansion.

“We’ve got pods, like cubicles, to build,” McClure said. “This will seat a total of eight people.”

“This will improve accessibility and privacy needs of our customers,” Senior Loan Officer Katie Casper said.

“New offerings with debit card capabilities, improved customer experience and improved card experience are on the horizon for the bank,” Holt said.

The bank building, located at 1009 S. Clark, was completed in 1992, when Union State Bank opened the branch in Fort Scott.

The headquarters of the two banks is in Uniontown, where the business started in 1901.

The bank listed the following businesses who have provided services/products for the expansion:

Project General Manager: Bo Casper (owner of Casper Enterprises)

Casper Enterprises LLC

Alpha Roofing

Big Sugar Lumber and Home Center

Craw-Kan Telephone

Davis Drywall

Geiger Plumbing

Greenwood Plaster Company

Jeff Allen Electric

LACO Guttering

Norris Heating & Air

Peerless Products Inc.

Phillips Flooring

Redbud Farms and Nursery

Ruddick’s Furniture

Stoughton Inc

Thomas Concrete & Construction

Evergy Will Recover 2021 Winter Storm Costs

June 23, 2022 Submitted Story Leave a comment

KCC approves agreement allowing Evergy to recover 2021 winter storm costs from Central customers and credit Metro customers for sales

TOPEKA – The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) has approved a non-unanimous settlement agreement allowing Evergy to recover extraordinary costs incurred during the February 2021 winter storm from Kansas Central customers (formerly Westar) and credit Kansas Metro customers (formerly KCP&L) for the sale of excess power back to the Southwest Power Pool during that same time. The Central and Metro divisions are owned by the same parent company, Energy, Inc., but operate separately.

Under the settlement agreement approved today, the average Evergy Central residential customer’s monthly bill is expected to increase by $2.82 for two years beginning in April 2023. The average Evergy Metro residential customer will see a $6.60 monthly credit for one year.

KCC Staff, the Citizens Utility Ratepayer Board (CURB), Evergy and the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative supported the settlement. Kansas Industrial Consumers, the Natural Gas Transportation Customer Coalition, and Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC opposed it, claiming it unjustly shifts costs from residential customers to industrial customers and fails to reward conservation efforts. The Commission rejected those arguments, finding that within each customer class, some customers made efforts to conserve, while other customers did not. Thus, there is no evidence to suggest reallocation on a class-wide basis would only reward customers who curtailed their energy usage.

“The Commission reiterates the unique nature of Winter Storm Uri and the extraordinary costs it produced. As the Opponents of the Non-Unanimous Settlement acknowledge, Winter Storm Uri caused unprecedented financial harm throughout Kansas. Likewise, the evidence demonstrates that some customers in all rate classes conserved electricity and assisted in avoiding a system-wide failure, like Texas experienced.”

“The evidence before the Commission suggests that, under the circumstances, the Non-Unanimous Settlement represents the lowest interest rate and the lowest customer impact of all Kansas utilities for Winter Storm Uri related costs.”

The order also states that any proceeds received by Evergy from ongoing federal or state investigations into market manipulation, price gouging or civil suits will be passed on to customers subject to winter storm recovery charges.

Today’s order can be viewed on the Commission’s website at Document Details (ks.gov)

A recording of today’s Business Meeting featuring comments by Commissioners on this order is available on the KCC YouTube channel.

Fort Scott Software Business Is Recognized Internationally

June 22, 2022 Submitted Story Leave a comment

The Spyder solution uses IBM Watson and Microsoft Azure to serve the insurance and financial services industries.

Spyder has big plans to assist the Fort Scott/Bourbon County community. Providing good paying jobs with great benefits is something desperately needed in the local community. Spyder’s minimum annual salary is higher than Fort Scott’s median wage. “Good paying jobs with benefits goes along way to help restore this wonderful community back to the glory days of the Western Insurance Companies, where good jobs were plentiful. These efforts will assist community efforts to attract a hospital group which is so important to our local community,” Barr said. “We believe the town is on the upswing. The downtown buildings are looking great, small businesses are plentiful, and the pride in this community is amazing. We think this community is ripe for a company like Spyder. It is truly exciting to be a part of such an important effort for this community.”

In July, Spyder will be raising their funding round to launch into growth mode.

“We have built and tested our basic infrastructure storage product and now ready to begin enhancing and adding larger product features and modules into the product,” she said. “In addition, we will be ready to launch our sales team into enterprise opportunities within large insurance and financial services firms in the next few months” said Upright. “Spyder’s products drive efficiencies within these large organizations saving them time and money. It is important for Spyder to raise this round of funding locally. We want to protect Spyder from being funded then pulled out of Fort Scott as our headquarters. We are building Spyder for our community to benefit from, so protecting the Fort Scott location is important to us.”

Spyder will host a luncheon in late July for interested potential investors to learn more about how Spyder will help the local community and their markets. Interested parties may reach out to Nedra Barr or Mike Upright to be added to the invite list. [email protected], [email protected]

M’Axe Throw House Is Open in Fort Scott

June 22, 2022 Loretta George 1 Comment

M’Axe Throw House doesn’t have a sign up yet, but is located at 212 E. First Street.

A year in the making, the M’Axe Throw House is open as of the first of June 2022.

Similar to darts, axe throwing is a sport in which the competitor throws an axe at a target, attempting to hit as close as possible to a bullseye, according to https://bargames101.com/axe-throwing-101.

A few of the rules are: 1) no one with sandals on may throw and 2) children can throw if under age 18, but parents must be there also.

Mac Stoughton began working on the building storefront that would house his axe throwing sport business in April 2021. It is located at 212 E. First Street, between Scott Avenue and State Streets in Fort Scott, near the downtown area.

“It took me that long because the building was in bad shape,” Stoughton said. By day he works at Stoughton Electric and Heating and Air Conditioning.

“We opened Good Ol’Days Weekend,” Stoughton said. “We offer entertainment and participating in a league.”

For walk in customers, he provides axes to throw.

League players have their own axes, he said.

For walk-in customers, the cost if $25 for 1.5 hours and he also offers knife throwing for $35 for 1.5 hours.

There are four seasons for axe throwing leagues and the first summer league event was on June 13.

“There are eight weeks of game play, then on week eight, we hold a tournament,” he said.

He currently has one employee, Cassandra Hueston.

Stoughton began an interest in axe throwing when looking for something to do, other than baseball, he said.

He found Main Street Axe Corp, in Pittsburg and started playing there in 2019.

“It sparked an interest,” he said. “I went on to enter three national championships. I placed in the top 20, a couple of times. In Tulsa there were 350 in the tournament, from all over the nation.”
