The Kiwanis Club of Fort Scott Pioneers will hold its 38th annual Chili Feed on Tuesday, November 10, at First United Methodist Church, 301 South National in Fort Scott.
A meal of the Pioneers’ signature chili with crackers and a homemade cinnamon roll will be served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and again from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., for a free-will donation (suggested minimum $10.00 per meal) collected at the door.
This year’s fundraiser will be drive-through only, with pick-ups available under the canopy on the National Avenue side of the church. Drivers are asked not to block private driveways while waiting in line for service.
Deliveries are available for orders of ten or more by calling 620-224-0563 during serving hours.
The Chili Feed is the Kiwanis Pioneers’ major fundraiser of the year. In keeping with the Kiwanis motto of “Improving the world one child and one community at a time,” the Pioneers support more than 40 community projects, including college scholarships, CASA, the Backpack food program, FSHS Key Club, Head Start, the Beacon, Foster Kids, CORE, Feeding Families in His Name, Care to Share, and school reading and arts programs.
“All of the funds raised stay in Bourbon County,” said Kiwanis Pioneer President Mary Wyatt.

Core Community believes something powerful: Poverty can be solved when a community comes together with the right tools, trusted relationships, and long-term support.
We equip families by inviting them to participate in a 22- week- long class, mobilize food donors and childcare volunteers to help eliminate barriers during class, and wrap our participants (Core Leaders) with support and proven tools.
After the class and graduation, we invite our graduates into Phase 2 where they are partnered with a community volunteer that comes once a month to class to walk alongside our Core Leaders in their journey as they continue to work on their goals and gain resources from presenters from the community. We meet every Tuesday night from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Fort Scott Church of the Nazarene, 1728 S Horton.
Two of Kathy Dancer’s businesses on South Main have been reconfigured to make way for a storefront she will be renting out.
Cohn’s Cafe has shifted to the north room at 110 S. Main and the Mercantile has shifted to the former cafe space at 112 S. Main.
The space at 114 S. Main will soon be the space for the Old Fort Genealogical Society.

About the Dancer businesses:
The cafe and mercantile are open Wednesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dinner is Friday and Saturday only from 5-8 p.m.
The Green Lantern Speakeasy Lounge is open Friday and Saturday from 6-9 p.m.
The menu.Dancer shows The Vault, which is a private area dining room for a small group.
The Vault is a private dining space in the cafe that has been added for customers. It formerly was a vault for the Scottish Rite Temple in its heyday.
“There has been a bachelorette party…a DAR event…and we can do small tasting events in there. It can have up to 14 people,” she said.

Coming soon is the handcrafted spirits.
In December 2026, the first bottling of Bourbon County Handcrafted Spirits is expected, she said.
She has a distillery on an upper floor of the former Scottish Rite Temple, in which all the businesses she owns are showcased, but the distillery is not open to the public.
“We’ll be in distribution by the end of the year,” she said. “Moonshine, whiskey and bourbon.”
Also on an upper floor is the Green Lantern and it is open to the public on Friday and Saturday night from 6- 9 p.m.
The Green Lantern Speakeasy is a 1920s-themed cocktail lounge located on the second floor at 110 S. Main, above Cohn’s Cafe.
“We offer craft cocktails and a large selection of whiskeys and bourbon and Kansas-made spirits and beers,” she said.
Since opening in December 2025, Lu’s Ice Cream Shop has been adding more food items and space to eat those items.
Their dipping freezer now holds 16 flavors for customers to choose from, and typically there are 4-5 additional flavors in the back freezer.
The outdoor seating is on the north side of Lu’s Ice Cream Shop.
An outdoor eating area has been added, and on-site seating to watch a baseball/softball game across the street at Fisher Park, and starting in July, more variety of foods were added to the menu.
Bleachers on the south side of Lu’s Ice Cream Shop face the ball field at Fisher Park.
“It’s been a gradual process opening and adding more items to the menu, because I was teaching full time until May,” said Nikki Regan, the manager. Regan is a former special education teacher for Fort Scott School District.

The shop now offers sandwiches, nachos, loaded dogs, and paninis.
Now more food options are in the works.
“We are adding more quick lunch options with high schoolers in mind,” she said. “We’d love for Lu’s to become a regular lunch spot for them during open lunch. A place where they can grab something quick and good, enjoy a little ice cream if they want, and still have time to get back to school.”
“We are listening to what they want and continue to add items based on their feedback.”
Homemade soups, mac and cheese, loaded mac and cheese, along with pretzel bites are coming soon, she said.
Regen leads a crew of 20 employees-young adults and high school students, some with unique abilities.

The Library Speakeasy
Food can also be delivered to another business in the building that owner’s, Lu and Al Niece, opened in July.
The Library is a 1920s-themed hidden speakeasy, tucked away in the basement beneath Lu’s Ice Cream.
A speakeasy bar, in essence, is an establishment inspired by the secretive drinking venues that proliferated across the United States during the Prohibition era. These bars typically feature a clandestine entrance, often concealed behind an unassuming facade—such as a wall of books, a telephone booth, or even blending seamlessly within a retail storefront, according to https://www.restaurantware.com/blogs/bar-management/what-is-a-speakeasy
Enter through the black door off the 6th Street stairs on the building’s south side. The first room resembles a quiet library filled with books, but walking past the bookshelves at the end reveals a hidden door that opens into a cozy, vintage-inspired cocktail lounge.

A Fox television station in the Kansas City area reported recently they had received tips that some people in Kansas are not getting money loaded onto their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards.
EBT is the electronic debit card system used to access the official Food Assistance Program in Kansas, which is the state’s name for the federal United States SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), according to the KDCF website.
Fortscott.biz went to the local Department of Children and Families in Fort Scott to find out more.
The spokesperson at DCF, Fort Scott, said she was unable to give information and sent a request to the Kansas Department of Children and Families media relations spokesperson.
In a nutshell, the answer is yes, there have been delays for some people because of requirements by federal and state laws that need longer processing times for case updates, along with increased workload and staffing shortages.
Erin La Row, MBA, who is the Deputy Director of Media Relations, responded with the following in an email:
“My colleagues in Fort Scott said after seeing the FOX 4 story, you were looking for information about delays clients may be facing with receiving their SNAP Food Assistance,” she said in the email.
The Department of Children and Families building, National Avenue and Wall Street, August 2024
“Some clients are experiencing delays in receiving their benefits due to longer processing times for required case updates, including recertifications, change reports, and interim reports. We understand how important these benefits are to the individuals and families who rely on them, and we recognize the hardship and uncertainty that delays can create.”
She listed several factors contributing to longer processing times.
“Increased seasonal workload and staffing shortages, and the time required to obtain and review required verifications —such as shelter and utility expenses— to ensure benefit accuracy and reduce error rates. Some of these factors are related to new requirements put in place by the U.S. Congress and Kansas Legislature.
“DCF is committed to reducing processing times. The agency has implemented overtime opportunities and continues to prioritize recruitment and training to strengthen the eligibility workforce, reduce wait times, and improve service for Kansans.”
Result of 2025 Laws
The U.S. Congress in 2025 enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with the effect trickling down now to the local level.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 reduces federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by $187 billion through 2034 and establishes stricter eligibility standards nationwide, according to a Public Broadcasting Service story:
Dave Gillen shows an empty storeroom at The Beacon.
The Beacon, a local helping agency, needs food and financial donations.
“We’ve been here since 1984 and are the second largest food bank in southeast Kansas,” said Director David Gillen.
In the last few months, he has seen an increase in the number of people The Beacon is helping.
“We serve 465 families,” he said. “That number includes 606 adults and 458 children. We gave groceries to 25 NEW families in July.”
“Our count continues to go up; our donations are down.”
“Food prices keep going up,” which add to a family’s burden.
The latter part of the year is when most organizations plan food drives, he said.
“Most of our donations come in the fall,” he said. “We get food and financial donations from generous individuals and organizations, who give a lot during this time.”
The staff has had three freezers quit working this year and is seeking grants to replace one; the others have been repaired. That has been extra expenses for the organization.
The greatest need at The Beacon currently is health and beauty aids, he said. Items like soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, and shampoo.
But all donations are appreciated. He does ask that food items not be out of date.
Director David Gillen stands in front of the sign at the Beacon, 525 E. Sixth Street, Fort Scott.
On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, the staff gets produce, bakery and meat items from Walmart’s Feed America program.
“We put boxes near the front door on the inside at 9 a.m. and by 9:30 it’s gone,” he said. He said people start lining up at 8 a.m. to get the food.
Here is what’s left of the donated Walmart produce this morning at 9:30. These shelves were full at 9 am. Even produce with spots, etc., doesn’t go to waste. Local people use the leftovers to feed chickens.
Once a month, they get produce boxes from the Kansas Food Bank.
“We give out food according to the size of the family,” he said.
The list on one of the refrigerator doors tells volunteers how much to put in each family’s box.
” We have a standard amount on what we give out. And families can get a box of food two times a month.”
Gillen shows a food box that is being prepared for a family at The Beacon.
The Beacon also gives excess items to Feeding Families In His Name, a weekly free dinner that is given free at the First Methodist Church, Fort Scott, and other local pantries, if they request it.
“If I get a good buy on some product, meat, or egg noodles, or sometimes Feeding Families volunteers call to see if we have something.”
The Beacon is located at 525 E. Sixth, and hours of operation are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Starting today, July 1, Lu’s Ice Cream shop, at the corner of 6th and Main Street in Fort Scott, will have a new menu and new hours.
The business owners, Al and Luanna Niece, recently purchased fudge equipment from Perry’s Pork Rinds (Bronson) and will be making fresh fudge and, in addition, will offer ballpark-inspired food: loaded hot dogs, nachos, paninis, and salads.
New hours are Mondays: closed. Tuesday through Thursday: 3-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday: 2-7 p.m. They will be closed July 4.
One novel aspect of this business venture is that they employ individuals of all abilities and are committed to creating a workspace where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered to succeed, said Nicole Regan, manager of Lu’s Ice Cream.
Regan is a former special education teacher.

They sell Blue Bell Ice Cream, whose headquarters are in Texas, where the owners, the Nieces, are from.
“The Blue Bell delivery driver said we are the second largest delivery account in this region, second only to Branson, MO,” Regan said.
The response from the community so far has been “incredible”, she said. “The ice cream sales have exceeded our expectations. We are grateful to our customers and community for making this achievement possible.”
The building at 6th and Main was dilapidated until a few years ago, when the Nieces took it on as a project.

The Fort Scott Farmers Market vendors are planning a party on July 4 at the Gathering Square Pavilion on North National Avenue.
The regular market vendors will be there to purchase from, but in addition, there will be added fun activities for the whole family.
The Gathering Square Pavilion.
“Since Independence Day falls on a Saturday this year, we wanted to make the most of a unique opportunity,” said Stephanie Carrell, secretary of the vendors. “The Farmers Market is already a place where people come together, so adding some patriotic fun felt like a natural fit.”
Join them to celebrate Independence Day with a morning of family-friendly activities and patriotic fun.
“Activities begin at 8:00 a.m. with the ‘Best Cookie of the Market’ Chocolate Chip Cookie Contest, where visitors can participate in a blind taste test and vote for their favorite cookie entry from participating market vendors. Voting will continue until 11:30 a.m., with the Cookie Champion announced at noon.”
All registrations for participating in certain events close on July 2. Find the event on Fort Scott Farmers Market Facebook page or enter at the link listed below.
“At 9:00 a.m., participants of all ages will compete in the Chomp Champion Watermelon Eating Contest, with multiple age divisions and trophies awarded in each group.”
“At 10:00 a.m., the Wheels of Glory Patriotic Parade will invite participants to decorate bikes, wagons, scooters, strollers, wheelchairs, and Power Wheels and show off their patriotic spirit. Spectators will vote to determine the crowd favorite.”
“We were thinking through the pavilion (for the parade). They can circle back along the sidewalk, then park in the center of the pavilion for voting,” she said.
“At 11:00 a.m., teams of up to four people will compete in the Know-It-All Cup Trivia Challenge, featuring questions about Fort Scott.”
“Registration for the scheduled events is free, and trophies and prizes will be awarded. Every participant will receive a prize,” she said.
“Visitors are encouraged to come enjoy the market, cheer on participants, sample cookies, and celebrate the Fourth of July with a morning of fun, friendly competition, and community spirit.”

” We hope people will stop by to pick up fresh produce, local meats, sweet treats, and other handmade products for their holiday celebrations, enjoy the festivities, and spend some time visiting with friends and neighbors,” Carrell said. “Celebrating the Fourth of July is about more than fireworks—it’s about community, and we’re excited to give people another way to celebrate together.”

The business owners are planning a Summer Social on June 25 from 5 to 8 p.m.
“The Summer Social is designed to showcase the entrepreneurs, food businesses, and local producers that make up the The Kitchen Collective+Collaborative community and will include Crumstead, owned by Stephanie Carell, featuring a selection of her handcrafted baked goods and desserts. Also, The Golden Swan Bakery, owned by Grace French, will offer some of her signature gourmet cookies and sweet treats. BBQ by Jarod Bower, serving up samples of smoked barbecue favorites. Jonny O’s, one of our close collaborators, is featuring items from his popular food truck menu. Branch Coffee, owned by Ken Walker, is serving specialty beverages and sharing information about their local coffee offerings,” French said.
“We’re also excited to feature several local farmers and ranchers whose products are available in The Kitchen’s market area, including FB Farms, Freedom Farms, and Sweet Country Farms. These producers will be sharing information about their farms and locally raised meats and eggs they provide to our community.”
“In addition to meeting the vendors, guests will be able to shop The Kitchen’s market, enjoy door prizes, and take tours of our incubator kitchen facility. This event allows an opportunity to connect directly with the community, share their stories and showcase products they work so hard to create. It’s also to see how local businesses can collaborate and support one another and strengthen our regional food economy.”
The event was created to showcase the businesses that have grown within The Kitchen Collective+Collaborative.
“Many people know us as a place to grab lunch, take a class or host an event; fewer realize that we were established as Southeast Kansas’ first food business incubator,” she said. “Our mission is to help food entrepreneurs start, grow and sustain a successful business by providing a licensed, commercial kitchen space, business support and retail opportunities.”
“We are continuing to develop educational programming, business resources and retail opportunities that help local food businesses reach more customers. We’re working to strengthen relationships with farmers, ranchers and producers so local products are available to our community.”
The Kitchen is currently partnering with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas Healthy Pathways Program, so those who qualify will be eligible for matching kitchen rental hours, helping reduce the cost of accessing licensed commercial kitchen space. This program helps remove barriers for entrepreneurs, making it easier for them to test ideas, grow production, and build sustainable businesses, she said.
“We hope to welcome additional entrepreneurs into our kitchens, expand our classes and events, and continue building…a hub where food businesses, producers and the community can connect, collaborate and grow together.
Presentation Explores African American Food Traditions in Kansas
Fort Scott, KS. – The Gordon Parks Museum in Fort Scott, Kansas will host “Food for the Journey: Kansas Stories,” an interactive presentation and demonstration by Theressa Rice that will take place on June 19, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. at The Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center at 2108 S. Horton St. Members of the community are invited to attend the free event. Contact the Gordon Parks Museum at 620-223-2700 ext. 5850 for more information. The event is part of “Kansas Folklife: Celebrating Kansas Traditions,” a series of folklife presentations developed by Humanities Kansas recognizing the nation’s milestone 250th anniversary.
This is a free Lunch and Learn event, with drinks and desserts provided.
“Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend this presentation event to learn more about the Kansas Folklife and the journey of African Americans migration from the south” said Museum Director, Kirk Sharp.
As African Americans made their way to Kansas, what foods came with them? Theressa Rice’s presentation is rooted in stories – stories from her history, her grandparents’ farm, her family’s migration from Oklahoma and Texas, and the food that graced the table for Sunday Supper once they reached their destination. Some stories might sound familiar – hunting for rabbits, frying up chickens, boiling potatoes dug straight from the ground, and picking berries off the vine to make into a delicious pie. Audience members will connect to these timeless traditions that stretch across generations (and maybe even get a slice of homemade pie to try).
Theressa Rice is a storyteller, baker, and small business owner.
“Kansas Folklife: Celebrating Kansas Traditions” is part of “By the People: Beyond 250,” a national initiative of the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
