Leave a comment

 

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce announces a Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening Gala to celebrate the launch of The Artificers, T.E. Freeman Studio & Kate Freeman Studio at 8 N. National Ave. in the Downtown Historic District on Saturday, January 28, 2023.  The ribbon cutting and remarks will take place at 5:45pm and the gala will follow from 6 to 9pm. Light refreshments will be offered.  The gala will feature art from Trent and Kate Freeman as well as some of their house artists that will be with them on a regular basis.  This long-awaited event will kick off the opening of the art gallery and hosting of art classes and workshops that will be held in the teaching studio.

Classes and workshops will start February 1st, and those interested can sign up for emails at their website theartificers.com and always be the first to know what’s being offered. The Gallery will also periodically feature master artists who will teach workshops about their art.

Trent & Kate will also be conducting a silent auction of some exclusive pieces of artwork as well as a special announcement, regarding the artwork. Only those in attendance will have the opportunity to purchase these pieces.

The Freeman’s recently moved to Bourbon County from Kansas City after selling their home and studio.  Trent has been a mixed media sculptor for 26 years and received his Undergraduate in Fine Art from Emporia State University.  Kate Freeman is a ceramist and acrylic painter as well as the marketing and day to day management of the studio.   The Freeman’s have been restoring the Hammons’ Real Estate building and are planning to continue the restoration and have their residence in the upper level.  The Freeman’s are glad to be part of the Fort Scott community and are excited and encouraged by the amount of support they have received from fellow business owners and residents of Fort Scott and the surrounding areas.

 

The galleries first artists will include; Kenny Felt- photography, Tim Kienzle- copper jewelry, Erin Shevling- pottery, Dianne Miller- glass, Kristin Girard- electroforming jewelry, Kristan Hammond- photography, Rachel Painter- painting, Amy Smith- mixed media, and “Forged in Fire” Champion, Ryan DeMott- Bladesmith.

 

Chamber members and the community are welcome and encouraged to attend the ribbon cutting and gala event this Saturday.  The Artificers look forward to a festive evening by suggesting cocktail attire or nice dress.  Although the event is free, those attending are requested to RSVP under the event on fortscott.com or email [email protected].

Chamber Coffee at the River Room Event Center on Jan. 26

Leave a comment
ANNOUNCING THIS WEEK’S
CHAMBER COFFEE
Join us for Chamber Coffee hosted by
The River Room
Thursday, January 26th
8am
3 W. Oak Street
The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee event this Thursday, January 26th at 8 a.m. hosted by The River Room Event Center, 3 W. Oak Street. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served in addition to door prize drawings.
The River Room is a beautiful venue for weddings, receptions, banquets, conferences, meetings, and more. Capacity of the event center is technically 700 people for standing room only, and up to 400 can be seated comfortably. Located in the heart of the Downtown Historic District, The River Room view overlooks the Fort Scott National Historic Site National Park located at the north end of downtown.
Known as the Stout Building, the property is listed with the National Register of Historic Places and maintains significant architectural integrity to when it was erected in 1912 by The Fort Scott Grain & Implement Company, selling implements, buggies, carriages, wagons, touring cars, and tires. The building housed a number of businesses over the years and was saved and extensively restored in the early 2000’s by Dean and Becky Mann after being vacant long-term and becoming dilapidated. Al Niece, of Niece Products, purchased the building in 2018 from the Mann’s following their retirement and relocation to keep it alive as an asset to the community and visitors.
In November 2022, Cathy Bishop who recently retired from Niece Products became the new Event Coordinator for The River Room.
Any member business or organization wanting to host Chamber Coffee in 2023 is encouraged to contact the Chamber to save a date by calling 620-223-3566 or emailing [email protected].
We hope to see you there!

Downtown Meet and Greet: New Happenings in 2023

Leave a comment
Lindsay Madison leads discussions at the Quarterly Downtown Meet and Greet this morning.

The Quarterly Fort Scott Downtown Meet and Greet met this morning to have conversations about the happenings in the historic downtown district.

Lindsay Madison, Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce CEO, led the discussions.

Those that made comments included:

Rob Harrington, CEO of Bourbon County Regional Economic Development Inc. on the former Mercy Hospital building.

The Legacy Group Health Foundation will have a new cardiologist and urologist coming to Fort Scott and are looking for a few doctors for a clinic, he said.

Brad Matkin, Interim Fort Scott City Manager, said he is part of a group that is looking to have a Christmas event downtown, instead of a Christmas in the Park and is seeking public input.

Matkin said he is having plans drawn up for parking improvements in the downtown area and is also working on plans for improving Memorial Hall downtown.

Kathy Dancer, owner of the former Scottish Rite Temple, said a cafe in the building is planned for a spring opening, along with a small retail space.

Bailey Lyons, who is renovating a downtown building on Main Street, said she is anticipating a completion by fall. She is part of a group that will open a fully licensed kitchen in the building.

Angie Simon, Bids and Dibs Consignment Store, said she is doing some remodeling since a carpenter became available and is planning on opening Jan. 16.

Joe’ Fritteris opening a new business at First and Wall Street, called Open Mortgage, on Feb. 1.

Megan Vyhlidal is opening a new chiropractic business in Fort Scott around Feb. 1.

Sandra Davis, Davis Accounting, said their business is remodeling both the Bartlesmeyer business building on South National Avenue and their store front downtown on North Main Street.

Lindsay Madison said there is online voting going on from Healthy Bourbon County Action Team for an archway design for the historic downtown area. She also said the grant received from T-Mobile will possibly be used for a canopy over a parking lot area in Skubitz Plaza, and used for farmer’s market events and other events.

Baily Lyons, Lyons Realty Group, said the splash pad project is coming to fruition with the ordering of elements for the splash pad, which will also be located on Skubitz Plaza, at the north end of Main Street.

Jill Jaworski, Superintendent of Fort Scott National Historic Site, said there will be new events this year, such as dark sky events and climate change events.

Additional info from the meeting:

Friday, April 21 is the downtown clean-up day.

There is an open Chamber Coffee time slot available for Jan. 19.

Dare to Dream Women’s Entrepreneur Event will be Feb. 8 from 5-7 p.m. at the Healthy Bourbon County Action Team office. RSVP on Eventbrite.

The Small Business Development Center is open at the HBCAT office.

Two grants are available for downtown businesses, please contact the Chamber for more details.
