Historic Katy Depot To Unveil Unique Exhibit of Vintage Wedding Attire
A special vintage wedding attire exhibit, “Here Come the Brides,” May 20 through June 3rd at Sedalia’s Katy Depot, is sure to bring back many blissful wedding memories for visitors. Tracing traditions through time, wedding attire from the 1880 Victorian Era to 1980 will be exhibited. The exhibit showcases marvelous examples of the evolution of style and ever-changing ideas of proper wedding attire for both the bride and groom. Vintage wedding photographs accompany the gowns illustrating what brides wore during those 100 years. The exhibition features wedding attire selected from the Carolyn Miller collection of more than 700 items.
Carolyn Miller, collection owner and owner of “Nostalgia Vintage Apparel,” commented “These dresses, and the memorabilia that accompanies them, are an inspiration for anyone considering a vintage wedding theme. Plus, they're just plain fun to look at.” The exhibit not only represents different styles of wedding attire it also offers visitors a glance at the past so that they may gain greater insight to their own traditions.

Marvin and his extremely rare, collection worthy, Belgian handgun, are at the center of a shooting investigation in Philly. Both businesses that were the scenes of the investigation were owned by Harrison, a bar and a car wash. Witness reports have Harrison and the victim, whose hand was shot, fighting outside the bar. Multiple shots were fired, and all casings recovered were traced to the rare Belgian gun, which was found in a bucket at the car wash.

Early draft returns....the state of MO has the best draft by far....
by Sandy Kaup - Senior Writer for MO.com 4/27/2008
KC seeemingly can do no wrong in their rebuilding process….Solid draft looks like Herm and Carl are in it for long term they better be cause next year will be tough…but if ownership keeps the faith which they have been known to do…KC will be back on top in 3 years or less…..a solid, stable franchise that just knows the right way to do business. They just need a little luck or have a qb fall into their laps and they will be back to the promise land in no time…..unfortunately for them they play in a stacked conference so another draft like this year will be needed…….
