We hope to see you there!

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee this Thursday, October 2nd at 8am hosted by the Gordon Parks Museum, 2108 S. Horton, on the campus of Fort Scott Community College. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served, and attendees will have the opportunity to win a door prize drawing.

The Chamber Coffee will kick off the 22nd Annual Gordon Parks Celebration to be held this weekend for which the full schedule of events may be found on gordonparkscenter.org. The Celebration is in honor Fort Scott native Gordon Parks, noted photographer, writer, musician, and filmmaker. Kirk Sharp, Executive Director of the Museum, and the committee work throughout the year to bring in artists, speakers, programs, and events that have enriched our community and world for all ages.

This year’s event features two meaningful dedications. On Thursday, October 2, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., there will be a tribute to the historic Wayman Chapel AME Church at 301 S. Lowman St., established in 1866, with a ribbon–cutting to inaugurate the new commemorative park and honor its enduring legacy. The next day, Friday, October 3, from 4:15 to 4:45 p.m., the community will gather for the unveiling of the mural “No Place Like Home” by Cbabi Bayoc. This mural celebrates Gordon Parks and his strong connection to his hometown of Fort Scott, and it will be displayed on the Wilder House building at 18 E. Wall Street.

A highlight this year is the “Celebration Dance Party” featuring The Full Flava Kings at the River Room, 3 W. Oak St. on Friday, October 3rd starting at 8pm. The Full Flava Kings, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, are one of the best party bands in the region.

Tickets are available at the Gordon Parks Museum, online at gordonparkscenter.org, or call 620-223-2700 ext. 5850.

Memorial Hall 100-Year Celebration
Thursday, Sepember 4th

8am

@ Memorial Hall

1 E. 3rd St.

(Enter through the 3rd street entrance)

We hope to see you there!

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee hosted by City of Fort Scott. The coffee will be held at Memorial Hall, 1 E. 3rd St. this Thursday, September 4th, at 8am. Coffee, juice, and refreshments will be served, and attendees may register to win a special drawing.

This week’s gathering will serve as a prelude event to the Memorial Hall 100-year Celebration, scheduled for Friday, September 5th from 11:30am to 1pm when the community is invited to join in commemorating the centennial milestone of this cherished architectural and cultural landmark in downtown Fort Scott.

Constructed in 1925 in the elegant neoclassical style by architect William T. Schmitt, Memorial Hall was built to honor those who gave their lives in World War I. Through the decades, it has hosted high school basketball games, served as city offices, and provided space for community events and organizations.

Today, Memorial Hall proudly stands as a contributing property within the Fort Scott Downtown Historic District, formally recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. As the building reaches its 100th anniversary, both the Chamber Coffee and community celebration offer opportunities to reflect on a century of local heritage, civic service, and community resilience.

FALL TOWN-WIDE

GARAGE SALE

SEPTEMBER 20th & 21st

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce announces the Fall Town-wide Garage Sale will be held September 19th and 20th, 2025.

The Chamber encourages the community to start cleaning out households and garages and saving back unnecessary and unwanted items and hold sales to make some cash.

Sales may be registered with the Chamber and listed on the official garage sale map for only $12.

Those interested may register in person at the Chamber, over the phone by credit, debit or Venmo, or online at fortscott.com. The deadline to register a sale on the official map is

The Chamber also offers display ads to businesses and organizations on the map for $35.

The Chamber sincerely appreciates sales and ads being registered with the Chamber as those funds make it possible for the Chamber to host the event and cover expenses incurred on the event to bring as many people to the community as possible to shop the sales and patronize other businesses while here.
