Friday Evening Lenten Fish Fry Begins Tonight
This evening is the first of six Lenten Fish Dinners that the Knights of Columbus prepare for the community as a fund raiser.
From Feb. 24 until March 31 the community is invited to join the people of Mary Queen of Angels Church for a fish dinner each Friday evening. The event is located in the Kennedy Gym at 7th and Eddy Street.
“Everyone is welcome, there is a free will offering,” Joe (Calvin) Barr, a Knight, said. “We do ask for a minimum of $8 for a to-go dinner. We generally do 75 to-go dinners each week.”
“We’ve had as high as 514 at one time in attendance,” Barr said. “400 is the average. During the COVID Pandemic there was a drive-through meal.”
The Menu
“It’s the same great fish: Southern-fried catfish, baked white fish, baked potato or french fries, coleslaw, drinks and all the wonderful desserts from the women of the church,” Mark McCoy one of the Knights, said. “For those who don’t like fish, we have spaghetti.”
The event starts at 5 p.m. and goes to 7 p.m. and is each Friday until March 31. Good Friday is April 7 in 2023.
This year all funds go to rebuilding of the church, which was destroyed by fire in August 2022.

110 S. Main Mercantile Reopens Feb. 10
Kathy and Tracy Dancer are reopening their new business venture, 110 South Main Mercantile and Market, on Feb 10. The business is located in the former Scottish Rite Temple.
To view a prior story on this business:
The store will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“The store started as a pop-up in the old Scottish Rite building in December and will be reopening with limited hours during February and March,” she said.
“We have about a dozen local artisans and craftspeople with items for sale in the market,” she said. “There are some great handmade home decor items, glass art, locally sourced and knitted Shetland wool scarves and shawls, woodcraft products such as: crosses, charcuterie boards, framed art and furniture made from reclaimed wood. We will be adding several additional market vendors in February and March as we expand the space.”
In addition to market vendors, Kathy sources items for the mercantile portion of the shop from around the U.S. with a focus on small businesses in Kansas and the Midwest.
“We have candles, jewelry, bath products, beard balms, soaps, home decor, caramels, puzzles, and baking mixes made in Kansas,” she said. “Some of the companies we are working with include Kansas City Caramels, Kansas City Canning Company, Prairie Fire, Madame Scodioli, Sunflower Food Co, Thompson’s Handmade, and Rural Pearl Art.”
The following are photos of some of the mercantile that will be for sell.
They will also have for sale products from outside of Kansas.
“We will be offering coffee from Modest Coffee, soup mixes from Anderson House, baking mixes from Finding Home Farms, and treats from Rolling Pin Bakery and Bear Creek Candy, Kathy said. “We have expanded our offering of craft drink mixes and cocktail accessories. We also have a selection of children’s books and wooden puzzles.”
“It really is a great variety of products for the entire family and all ages,” she said.
She is currently enjoying some of the items she sells at home.
“Right now with the cool weather, I am enjoying the Anderson House soup mixes, the Shetland wool scarves from Black Dog Farms, and the seasonal home decor from 2 Southern Ladies,” she said.
A Cafe on the Horizon
“We have also started the process to license a restaurant in the space,” she said.
The restaurant will be named Cohn’s Cafe.
” The cafe space was Cohn’s Coffee Shoppe from 1926-1948, so we felt it was a great way to embrace the history of the space while adding a dining option for the community,” she said. “The cafe will be open sometime this spring.”
In addition the cafe will have a selection of breakfast and lunch items, coffee, specialty drinks and desserts.
“We are testing menu items during February, but we hope to offer a selection of quiches, scones, waffles, crepes, sandwiches, and soups,” she said. “There will also be a rotating selection of classics such as pot roast, meatloaf, and chicken and dumplings.”
People can follow the mercantile’s progress on Facebook or Instagram at @110s
