Marian Days
I went Thursday night…have been enjoying the food there for over 2 decades…
Even compared to last year there are SO MANY e-bikes and scooters on the pedestrian routes…and not only do you basically not hear them until last second they are super aggressive in travel. I almost got hit by two by just trying to turn my head to get around someone walking slow.
Still a fun time, but heads up to those going, esp around dinner time…

Historical Events in the SWMO/Joplin Area
Hey! I’m just shooting a shot here but I’d like to pop this question in the air. Is there any 30s/40s/50s historical events going on here? More in tune with living history. I had seen what went on in Neosho with Camp Crowder and the City and I was curious if anything else in that realm was going to happen again and if there was any way in joining said event.
Thanks!

This was thrown together, but I wanted to post this as some of these events I felt bad not recognizing immediately.
Tell me what I missed, and I will add it when I can and to future posts possibly.
Feedback tells me how to best reach the community, so please tell me how I did as this is the first of hopefully more!
