The Lewis and Clark Fife and Drum Corp. marches down N. Main Street in the St. Charles historic district past the Mosaics Festival of the Arts, including this sculpture booth called Fabrications by artists Ruth and David Jellema from Rockford, Michigan. The fair closed early on Sunday because of the threat of inclement weather. 110 juried and invited artists showed their work before the rains threatened Sunday afternoon.

Marty Ginsburg, owner of the Sports Page Bar and Grill in Chesterfield, takes a break to watch some of the NFL football action Sunday afternoon. Ginsburg said that his health has improved since the smoking ban took effect in January. All this time I thought it was my adenoids acting up, said Ginsburg.

September 16, 2011 - David Holmes picked up his mail Friday afternoon from the Truxton, Mo., post office, heading home in his tractor. The building, built in 1910 as a bank, became the post office in 1945 and still serves that function for its 96 residents.  It could close as early as January, listed among nearly 3700 post offices slated for closure. We could have protested with signs, said resident Naomi Moran. But we don't get much traffic.
