For the past two years, The Webb City Elks Lodge #861 has partnered with Whiteman Air Force Base and the 442nd Fighter Wing “A-10 Warthogs” to put on Feeding the Hawgs.
The family-weekend is for the 442nd reserves. The Elks Lodge participates by cooking bratwurst, handing out drinks, operating merchandise tents, beer gardens, etc.
This year, the Elks provided custom-designed t-shirts and sold them to help the 442nd Fighter Wing Booster Club.
Over 20 Elks from Webb City presented a $1,250 check to the master sergeants who organize the event to help with next year’s family weekend.

Representatives of EPA Region 7 invite all Jasper County residents to attend a community meeting about the cleanup of our superfund site.
It will be held open-house style from 6:15 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16, at Carthage Memorial Hall.
Specifically to be presented is a community involvement plan during this stage of the cleanup of the Oronogo-Duenweg Mining Belt Superfund Site, along with findings from the technical assistance needs assessment.
A community involvement plan is a site-specific strategy to enable meaningful community involvement throughout the superfund cleanup process. CIPs are a requirement at superfund sites, as mandated by the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP).
More information about the Oronogo-Duenweg Mining Belt Superfund Site is online. There’s also information about community involvement plans and technical assistance needs assessments.
