There has been so much going on in Lucas County!  What a great place to live, work and play!! 

 

Over the past few months, we have had many activities and exciting happenings in Lucas County.  From the Kids’ Carnival and the Model Railroad Swap Meet to Governor Branstad’s visit to our Hy-Vee expansion project there is never a dull moment. 

 

Mark your calendar for a great event in Chariton on Saturday, November 19!  Our Celebrity Dinner & Poker Tournament will take place at Carpenter’s Hall starting at 5:30PM.  The Celebrities are MLB stars, Jeremy Hellickson of the Tampa Bay Rays & Casey Blake of the Los Angeles Dodgers!  The dinner will benefit the Chariton Baseball Hitting Facility and the poker tournament proceeds will go to the many activities sponsored annually by the Chariton Chamber.   For more information, please call the Chamber at 774-4059 or Jake Schroeder (CHS Baseball Coach) at 203-0734.
