October 4 – St. Bernards Church is hosting its annual Fall Celebration. Games and other activities begin at 5:00 and operate until 8:00 p.m. Dinner will be served from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The meal will consist of BBQ pork roast, dressing, cole slaw, baked beans, relish, bun, dessert and drinks. Bingo will follow the dinner at 7:00 p.m.

October 9 – Homecoming for the Ellsworth-Kanopolis-Geneseo football game. Let’s be supportive of these future leaders especially their downtown afternoon activities!

October 9-12 – The Annual Cow Camp is set to receive its visitors as early as Thursday evening to take part in the traditional Cowboy hospitality. Activities too numerous to cover in the update will follow each day across the river. For more information on the entire weekend contact Jim Gray at Drovers Mercantile. 472-4244.

October 11 – The Ellsworth County Historical Society will be hosting the 130th Anniversary and Rededication of the 1873 Ellsworth County Jail. Ceremonies start at 1:00 p.m. followed by a reception at the Senior Citizens Center. Everyone in the community is encouraged to wear “period dress” for that day. (Could be a big hoot for our downtown businesses as well as the many visitors). Be sure to tune in to Kansas Live on Wednesday, 8th, as Pat Bender, Pat Svaty and Jim Gray let the listeners know what is being planned that weekend in wild, wooly Ellsworth.

This weekend is also the Ellsworth Knights of Columbus tootsie roll project. The receipts will go to Mosaic/Bethpage as they have for the last several years. I know you will be generous individually and as a business community.

October 12 – The Cowtown Committee is sponsoring a soup luncheon, Sunday, 11:00 a.m. – 1 p.m. A concert featuring Steve Bowman will be held at the PAC at 2:00 p.m. The committee would appreciate any pies that can be donated for this fundraiser for the 2004 Cowtown Festival.
