Cathy Bishop is New Event Coordinator for The River Room
Cathy Bishop, who retired from Niece Products of Kansas on December 31, 2022, is the new event manager for the River Room Event Center, at Oak Street and National Avenue.
Al Niece is the owner of the building at 3 W. Oak and the River Room is located on the second floor.
Bishop, who was the Niece Products of Kansas Human Resource Director prior to her retiring, now schedules reservations and manages the set up of the alcohol bar.
Renters will need to secure catered food for their event, Bishop said.
“We don’t have a working, cooking kitchen, but do have a refrigerator,” she said.
“There is a cash bar and we supply the bartender and alcohol or beer,” she said
Some of the bigger reservations this year are for the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce Banquet in April and the Fort Scott High School Prom on May 6.
“We contract by volume of people attending,” Bishop said. “We also charge by the hour for a small two-hour event.”
Contact Bishop via email for more information on rates charged at [email protected].
In addition to banquets and proms, they have provided a venue for weddings, anniversaries and graduations, to name a few.
The event center will hold 700 capacity, but that would be standing room only, Bishop said.
“Four hundred people is a comfortable number of attendees,” she said.
Although the email is the preferred way to contact Bishop, the phone number for the River Room is 620.820.0536.
History Of The Building
According to hearsay, the building has housed a roller rink, car dealership, bowling alley and a couple of restaurants, the most recent: Luther’s BBQ, Bishop said.
Bishop came upon a book about the building with some information:

Local Producers Featured at Makers Market This Saturday
The first Makers Market, hosted by Mmm Flavor Shop owners Emelia Whiteaker and Addi Foster is this Saturday, January 14th from 10 am to 3 pm. The event is in the Cloverleaf Event Center at the Bourbon County Fairgrounds on South Horton Street.
“This is for people who produce and make things local” to showcase and sell their products, Foster said.
They are hosting these events because they are hoping to establish a spice store and don’t have a business space, Foster said.
In addition they are sponsoring a fundraiser for a new dog agility club.
“Lunch will also be available for purchase with the proceeds going to help purchase dog agility equipment for the newly created Momentum Dog Club,” Whiteaker said. “Those youth interested in joining the Momentum Dog Club can stop by and get more information. They must be at least 7 years of age to join, and no experience is needed.”
The two sisters are planning a market each second Saturday of each month, until May. “Different vendors will be participating each month,” Whiteaker said. “There will be a variety of locally made products for sale including food, soaps, lotions, knitted items, sewed items, and starters for indoor plants.”
“The menu that will be available is chicken and noodles made with locally raised chicken from Freedom Farms in Bourbon County, Mixed Bean Soup with Grains, Butternut Squash Soup, Mediterranean Vegetable Stew with Couscous,” Whiteaker said. “For dessert offered is Citrus Olive Oil Cake with Orange Chocolate Glaze, and Carob Brownies made two ways.”
