Thursday, June 19th

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee hosted by Kale Nelson State Farm, celebrating twenty years in business in Fort Scott. The Coffee and celebration will be held at the State Farm office, 1805 S.

Kale Nelson is excited to celebrate twenty years with State Farm along with his wife, Kelly, and his team members, Peter Brody, Rita Schroeder, and Monica Walden. Kale opened his agency on July 1, 2005, at 20 W. Wall St., which is now the site of the new Kansas Department for Children and Families. In 2012, Kale moved his office to the 5 Corners complex at 12th and Hwy. 69 and finally settled at his current location, 1805 S. National Ave., in 2019. Kale and his team offer auto, home, life, health, and other insurance and financial services.

Heidrick’s True Value in Fort Scott will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this September, as the store opened in 1975 as a second location to Heidrick’s in Girard, established in 1947. Heidrick’s is locally owned by Dennis Heidrick, the 3rd generation to own the business, and the Fort Scott store is managed by Dennis’ sister, Nancy Hofer, with a team that is eager to assist with DIY home improvement projects, tools, hardware, equipment, appliances and more. Whether you are a pro or taking on a project for the first time, Heidrick’s is in the neighborhood with advice and products to get the job completed.

Heidrick’s currently has a wide variety of flowers, shrubs, mulch, pots, and everything needed for spring planting. Inside the store features Nancy’s gift corner with home decor, candles, collectibles, and more.

Chamber Coffee Hosted by Shead Farm on May 15

Join us for Chamber Coffee

hosted by

Shead Farm

Thursday, May 15th

8am

at the

Shead Farm

2468 Cavalry Road

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee hosted by Shead Farm, 2468 Cavalry Road, this Thursday, May 15th at 8am. Coffee, juice, and refreshments will be served, and attendees may register to win a special drawing.

Shead Farm is hosting their 5th Annual Shead Farm Homestead Festival this Saturday, May 17th, from 10am-5pm. There will be music, children’s activities, farm tours, a farm store, vendor booths, and a food court. The festival is a wonderful outing that ALL ages will enjoy. Admission is $5 for a single ticket or $25 for a family pass of 5 or more family members.

The Shead farm, established by Larry Shead’s ancestors, the Burckley family, has been home to Larry and wife Vickie since 1978. The couple shares a passion for gardening, and their annual festival, now in its 5th year, aims to inspire others to grow their own food. The festival also seeks to foster a deeper connection between the source of food and the providers of our needs. Through the event, the Shead’s hope to encourage others to embrace a closer relationship with both their food and their faith.

Directions to the Shead Farm from Fort Scott are to drive south on Highway 69 to Cavalry Road, turn east and follow the signs. The farm is approximately a 20-minute drive from Fort Scott, so the Chamber suggests attendees leave town by 7:40am to arrive on time.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information. Visit the Events Calendar and category of Chamber Coffees on fortscott.com for upcoming locations.
