I just received notice that they will be spraying tomorrow.

Ron Hook called Thursday and said that the helicopter spraying would begin again on October 12th, weather permitting. Pass the word along to your friends and neighbors. When asked if this is going to work this time, his response was, "This is new growth." No other information was given.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Once a bustling amusement destination drawing thousands by streetcar and horseback, Lake Contrary today is but a shadow of its former self, but a dedicated and passionate group is fighting to bring it back.

Thank you to all who participated the last couple of days with the Lake clean up. We filled 3 dumpsters that the county graciously donated for the cause. Stay tuned, we are going to plan to do it again in the next couple of months.
