Lagging behind

I just went to the Cotton Carnival Parade. It was a good parade, but they need to keep it together. Some of it went through and then it seemed like about 15 minutes before the rest of it come through. Then it was another what seemed like 15 minutes. Who ever lines everybody up needs to tell them to stay together.

I'm hooked

I'm wanting to call about the pond out there that has the fountain where all the people go to walk. I've seen children out there trying to fish with their little fishing poles and their lines get stuck in all that moss. They need to get that away from the edge where the kids can fish.

According to the city of Sikeston, they are working with the Conservation Department on the problem.

Not overdone

This is in regard to the Historic Downtown Sikeston events and the barbecue vendors. I am the owner and operator of No Joking or Smoking Custom Barbecue. I feel like that there has not been enough exposure to my business throughout the events that have been happening during the downtown summer events. I'm sure there is money allotted for exposure, however, I feel like there has not been adequate time or exposure to the vendors of the events in Downtown Sikeston. Please keep in mind that every vendor that is involved in the downtown area will and should be recognized. And keep in mind that all exposure will create additional business to the downtown area.
