Jasper in the Media

Today on my way to work, I heard the morning show people on 96.5 The Buzz talking about Patrick Swayze's movies, particularly "Road House."  Of course, all of us Jasperians know that the movie is set in a fictionalized Jasper, MO.  The morning crew couldn't remember where the movie was set. One of them said Kansas City, the other Joplin, MO. After being given the correct answer, Jeriney said she knew where Jasper was. I would hope so. She's from Diamond. Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool that Jasper was "sort of" being discussed on Kansas City radio. 

On a current events note: Jasper Appreciation Days are this weekend. Come on out and enjoy the small town fun. I'm definitely taking my notepad and pen, hoping to get a wellspring of material for the blog and my book.
