35th Annual Gathering At Trenton

THS, TMS Fall Concert

Rain Fails To Dampen Festival Spirits Despite a rainy Saturday morning and cool weekend temperatures, the 2019 Missouri Day Festival has been termed a success by festival officials. Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce Director Debbie Carman said crowds were down a bit from years past, but those who did attend were able to take in the various events held in and around the community. At the festival grounds, most vendors reported good sales, especially on Sunday, when sunny skies brought out a large number of visitors. She noted several vendors have already put in their applications to take part in the 2020 festival, which will be a two-day event. The “Paint For a Cause” project drew a lot of interest from the community, according to Dan Maxey, who helped bring the Bicentennial project to Trenton. He said that 736 of the 1,729 spaces on the panel were painted by individuals ranging from four months to 96 years of age. The project was located at The Space in downtown Trenton. The panel will be included with other panels being painted by residents from around the state and will eventually be on display in the Truman Building in Jefferson City as part of the state’s 200th birthday anniversary in 2021. Results from other events held over the weekend include: Car Show The Trenton Elks Lodge sponsored a car show on Sunday afternoon. Ron Parsley’s 1964 Studebaker GT Hawk was named the Best of Show and also won the Best Interior award. The Best Paint Award went to Mike Ballew and his 1952 Chevy Bel Air.
