This returning pop-up clinic offers low-stress nail trims for dogs. No appointment is needed and walk-ins are welcome. Each pup receives a complimentary treat as a reward. If your dog has had a difficult experience in the past or you are unsure how they will handle a trim, the service focuses on a calm, appropriate approach, and payment is only required if the trim is successfully completed. Organizers plan to offer these clinics on the second Saturday of each month, with updates shared if the schedule changes.

Explore Prairie State Park on a guided bison saunter that begins at the Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center. A saunter is a leisurely stroll that favors unhurried observation, making it a fitting way to take in the prairie. The park preserves nearly 4,000 acres of tallgrass, a landscape that once covered about a third of Missouri and now remains in less than one half of one percent. With fall on the way, expect cooler temperatures, bison starting to grow their winter coats, and wildflowers blooming and preparing to set seed, so the prairie is especially active. Plan for at least two miles over uneven terrain. Because the herd’s location is determined the morning of the outing, bring water, snacks, a hat, insect repellent, sunscreen, and wear sturdy footwear. Weather can change quickly, so be ready for conditions, and consider binoculars for viewing bison and other wildlife. For the protection of this rare ecosystem and for visitor safety, pets are not allowed on park trails except on the Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People. Pets may be taken to the campground and picnic area when following Missouri State Parks pet rules, and service animals that assist people with disabilities may accompany their handlers. Registration is required and limited to 30 participants. To register, call 417-843-6711.

Now in its sixth year, the Boom Town showcase for cars, trucks, and bikes takes place at The W Club in King Jack Park in Webb City, Missouri.

Charlie 22 will be on site with a giveaway of a restored Ford Bronco. Registration is $20 on the day of the show, or $15 when pre-registering through PayPal at @Mhendrix818 or Cash App at $Mhendrix818. Only the Mhendrix818 handle is valid for pre-registration, and payments should not be sent to any other name. In-person pre-registration is also available at Gear Head Auto Sales.

Classes span cars and trucks from 1972 and earlier, cars and trucks from 1973 to 1997, cars and trucks from 1998 and newer, plus Jeeps, Corvettes, motorcycles, and a Ran Out of Money category.
