It is tradition in Puxico to open the annual V.F.W. Homecoming with the 

sounding of the horn on the Tuesday, the first day of Homecoming. 

 Ronnie Clinton, Puxico High School Class of 1966, a Vietnam Veteran and V.F.W. member continued that timely tradition on Tuesday, August 8th at 10:00 a.m. by sounding the horn.  

Every year they “toot” the horn once for each year of the homecoming.  

The nostalgia and tradition of blowing the horn has passed down through the generations.  The horn was from the old Puxico Handle Company and has been used for many years.

The Dexter Board of Alderman appointed Kerry Jarrell to Administrative Assistant, Sierra Luttrull to City Treasurer and Melissa Wright to City Collector!
