Details about the Map
The map will be printed in full-color, double-sided, and size 11×17. The front will be color-coded and numbered for easy reference. On the side of the front, there will be a listing of advertising main-focus businesses in addition to a numbered pinpoint locator.
The maps will be printed on pads in a way that a map may be torn off and taken by locals or visitors.
The pads will be distributed from the Chamber, the Convention and Visitors Bureau/Tourism Center, Visitor and Relocation Packets, and through other businesses applicable for distributing the maps. The map will also be available digitally on the Chamber’s website.
A quantity of 5,000 maps will be purchased initially, with the understanding that this may be a 6-month supply; and when the locator guide is replenished, the ad fees will be charged again. The advertising businesses will have the opportunity to make ad changes at that time. Each participating business will also have a supply of the maps to distribute.
Map will be ordered and produced locally through Chamber Member Sherry Lakeman of Campbell Printing Solutions.
Thank you!

Sock Hop at the Brewhaus For New Years Eve

Leave a comment
A vintage photo of The Boiler Room Brewhaus, 2. S. National. It was once the home of the Downtowner Motel.

The Boiler Room Brewhaus, 2 S. National, is having a sock hop to bring in the new year.

The New Years Eve Party, December 31, starts and 8 p.m. and ends at 1 a.m.

“People can dress in 50s style, it’s optional, but more fun,” Barbara Ritter, who along with husband Bryan, are the owners.

“We are having a food share, where everyone brings something,” she said.

“People will have to pay for the drinks,” Barbara said. “But the food portion is free.  Free soft drinks for designated drivers”.

Be prepared to do the Hoola Hoop and the Limbo, both 1950s favorites, Ritter said, with a smile.

For more information, contact the brewhaus at 620-644-5032.

Fort Scott American Red Cross Blood Drive

Leave a comment

As a Veteran, do you ever ask yourself, “What can I do for my community?”

 

If so, one way is to become a Blood Donor. Blood donors are always needed and the blood you donate may save a life or several lives. The American Legion’s National Blood Program encourages members to donate blood in their community as a way to demonstrate that “Veterans are Still Serving.”

 

An American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held at Buck Run Community Center, 735 Scott, Wednesday, Dec. 26 from 1 to 7 p.m. and Thursday, Dec. 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

You can call 620-223-5946 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.

 

If you or a family member donates blood, please take a moment to call or email me so I can keep a record of the number of pints donated locally. This information is helpful as part of our annual Post report.

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact at me with any questions you may have. You can reach me by email at [email protected] or by calling me at 620-215-1688.

 

For God and Country.

 

Carl Jowers, Commander
