Thanksgiving Eve Bash @ Lone Wolf

NOvember 21st 8pm

Lone Wolf in

Isle Casino Cape Girardeau

"As you all know (and we admittedly didn't until 5 years ago), Thanksgiving Eve is one of the BIGGEST party nights of the entire year!! Soooo.... What better place to celebrate that night, than a place that literally doesn't close!!
Family and friends will all be back in town and will need a place to make fools of themselves on the dance floor..... yes, even though we are concentrating very hard on our instruments, we still find time to get a good chuckle out of some of ya'lls dance moves! Don't worry though, we are laughing with you!
But seriously, We have played this night since the Casino has opened and it has always been a fun one.....except that one year where...well ... you know!
Come out and wish everyone you know a Happy Turkey Day and share a Fireball shot! Nothing better than nursing a massive hangover with 60 of your closest relatives and unlimited desserts!

Good Luck & See You There,
The Intention"

Ron Cook of Jackson's new "Curly's Kitchen" is proud to announce his 4th Annual Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday meals.

Cook and friends will provide meals for anyone needing a place to go during the holidays.

It doesn't matter the reason, whether financial or just not wanting to stay home alone or cook a meal for just a few people.

Thanks to their new partnership with the Jackson Elks the meals will be held in the lower level of the lodge.

Donations will be accepted for anyone wanting to help with this cause.

We may also be needing more volunteers due to the larger facility.

Cook can be reached at: (573) 204-3475 (Curly’s Kitchen)

Flip the Switch Party @ Jackson Park

Friday, November 23
4:30 – 7:00pm
City Park
Jackson, MO 63755, USA
Join us in the Jackson City Park for fun family activities as we "flip the switch" and turn on this year's beautiful holiday light display!

Horse-drawn wagon rides, games, crafts, letters to Santa, and holiday music will take place near the tennis courts and pavilion starting at 4:30 p.m. The lighting ceremony begins at 5:00 p.m. near the footbridge! What color do you think the bridge will be this year? Around 5:45 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive and kids will get a chance to visit with them. Most activities are free, but bring some cash for refreshments.

Motley Chue, Hinkebein Hills Farm, and Sugar Chic will be there with their food trucks.

This year we are collecting items at The Giving Tree for two charities: Jackson Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry and Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary! Bring non-perishable food items and/or dog/cat food to the Flip the Switch Party to help make a difference for others.

All of Parkview Drive will be blocked off for the evening's festivities so allow yourself extra time to park. Come make some memories with us as we kick off the holiday season!
