10th Annual Hope International Back-to-School Bash a Success

10th Annual Hope International Back-to-School Bash a Success

Dexter, Missouri - More than 800 children of all ages were delighted to receive free backpacks full of school supplies from Hope International at their 10th annual Back-to-School Bash at the Bearcat Event Center on Tuesday.

Students were able to get haircuts, dental exams, hearing tests, and eye exams all for free donated by the many businesses in the community.  They also had fun in the giant bounce houses set up on one basketball court.  There was face painting, balloon animals, lots of free candy and information from various groups and organizations.  Students and families were also treated to free popcorn, hotdogs, chips, and soda.  Kiger Electric grilled more than 1,300 hotdogs at last count for the event.

What an amazing community effort for our students.  It was also good experience for high school students who volunteered to work at many of the booths.  

Students came from all over Stoddard County and a few surrounding towns such as Malden, Kennett and Senath.  It was a great day and a lot of smiling faces.

This was NOT a low-income only opportunity.  They wanted everyone with children to benefit from this event.  Getting a child ready to go back to school can be very stressful and hard on a family. They want to make the Back 2 School process a fun and enjoyable day for everyone and it was!

Back the Blue Fish Fry Fundraiser
Dexter, Missouri - On Saturday, July 29, 2017 the Dexter VFW Post 2659 will host a “Back the Blue” Fish Fry.

"These men and women serve on a front line as we have," commented Commander of the VFW Robert Myers. "They do not know who is friendly and who is foe until the conflict arises. It maybe from what appears to be a simple traffic stop quickly escalated in force, or to a domestic disturbance upon arrival walking into a hail of gun fire."

Join them from Noon to 6:00 p.m. and support your local law enforcement.

All proceeds will go to the Dexter Police Department.  Other fundraisers are in the planning stages for EMS and Fire.

Cost of the meal is $7.00 with children 12 and under free.  You will be served delicious fried catfish, hush puppies, cole slaw, french fries and a drink.

The new FVW Canteen is located at 23 North Locust Street in Dexter.

There will also be games for the kids and adults,  an 8 ball tournament, dart tournament, basketball shooting for kids, corn hole events and 50/50 as well.
