Best Week Ever
The ESHS Tiger Cheerleaders went to state competition this weekend at Southeast Missouri State University and they're coming home with third place! Congratulations, Tigers!!
Coming Soon
Dirt is being moved next to Casey's on the north side of town! Many have been asking (but not excited to hear) that it will be yet another Dollar General store.

This will be the community's third store, with plans for the store next to Westlake and Wood Heights location to remain open.
(At least it's not storage units!)
Word on the Street
The watering stations at Century Bark Park (Dog Park) have been turned off for colder weather! If you're bringing your dogs to play, you might bring some bottled water for them to enjoy!

(Thanks for the tip Judy Roos!)
