Dexter, Missouri – The Sikeston Jaycees recently donated $5,000 to the Disabled Veterans Wildlife Facility, which is owned and operated by Tom Love.  The facility is located on the Gobbler Ridge Farm southwest of Bloomfield.

Members of the Sikeston Jaycees also enjoyed a tour at the facility along with several members of the Dexter’s American Legion Kenady-Hanks Post 59.  The 125 acre farm is maintained by the American Legion through monetary donation they receive.  This donation will be utilized for road maintenance and for the construction of a handicap accessible fishing dock.

Veterans who are disabled are invited to spend a day or the entire night to hunt, photograph the wildlife, or to just enjoy the scenery.

Mr. Love who serves as chairman of the facility and is also a member of the Kenady-Hanks American Legion Post 59 was quite excited to receive the generous donation.
