The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce Downtown Quarterly Meet and Greet is a meeting to share events and opportunities that are coming.

Stacy and Wayne Racy, owners of Common Ground Coffee Co., 12 E. Wall, were introduced by Lindsey Madison, Chamber CEO.

The Racy’s took over ownership in May 2025, from the Fort Scott Church of the Nazarene, where they are members. Since then, they have been revamping the menu to some healthier options and featuring evening entertainment periodically. They are having a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for the Honor Flights program for military veterans on Oct. 25 starting at 4 p.m. To learn more:

Later than evening the coffee company will feature live music by Serenade at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25 Admission is free for this concert.

Main Street Approach

The City of Fort Scott Housing and Community Development Coordinator Lisa Dillon spoke about work done on a possible Main Street Program designation. Main Street assists in developing strategies to revitalize or strengthen downtown areas.

The Main Street Program will give technical assistance, training,  access to design services, available state and national grant funds  and membership to the Main Street America Network, according to info provided by Dillon.

Dillon said it has proven to be successful for communities enhancing the downtown area, but  there must be community engagement in the process.

“After meeting four times over the past six months to plan and discuss this effort, we’re now at the point of collecting letters of support for our application,” Dillon said later.

To create a letter of support:

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.
