Dexter, MO - Everyone loves seeing Mr. Walter Rushing on the corner waiving his flags at everyone who passes by him. Brandy, Meghan, Tina, and Terri are having a birthday party for him and YOU (the public) are invited to attend.
Mr. Rushing will be 83 years young on Christmas Eve and we couldn't be more proud than to celebrate with him.
The Birthday Party will be at Pizza Hut in Dexter on Friday, December 23rd from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
This is a drop-in event, but if you would like to eat some pizza (it's his favorite) and stay awhile and visit I am sure he would enjoy all the attention!
If you would like to send him a birthday card please send the card to ShowMe Times c/o Walter Rushing, P.O. Box 84, Dexter, MO 63841 then I can deliver to him at his birthday party!
Let's support him as he supports our community by making us smile and feel patriotic when we see him waiving his American flags at the corner of Grant and S. Park Lane, next to Keller Public Library.
