Anyone who missed the United Fund of Calumet Ice Cream Social missed more than ice cream and cake. They missed a chance to taste other delicious desserts such as pie and brownies. They missed some great music performed by local talent. They missed hearing a world-renown MC, Debra (Duvall) Peppers. They missed seeing DJ Michael Jones, who kept the music flowing for over two hours. They missed a chance to see and talk to friends, family and neighbors in a fun social setting.
Most importantly they missed seeing how a community pulls together. When the last-minute decision was made to change the venue from Clarksville City Park to the Apple Shed because of rain, it took only minutes for Linda and Bill Blakey to open the Apple Shed and prepare for the 4pm event. Mike Smith and his group made short work of setting up tables and chairs.
Members of the board of the United Fund of Calumet took on various tasks to set up for serving. Representatives of the organizations that are supported by UF of Calumet also donated time and products. The Raintree Arts Council provided the venue and equipment; Clarksville Museum, cake; Pike Pioneer, pies; and the 21st Century Community Learning Center at Clopton, cake. The following organizations donated their time and energy to help set up, clean up and serve. They include: Clarksville Athletic Association, O.A.T.S., and Clarksville Library. In addition, Orscheln donated bottled water. Everyone came through and needs to be thanked.
The community came together to support the organization that supports our community–the United Fund of Calumet.

Don’t miss your chance to see Stephanie Trick in concert at the Clarksville Missouri Appleshed Theater. Sunday June 10th. Performance is at 2:00 PM in the afternoon. Show up a little early to get your tickets and seats!
The Jeff Allwood memorial benefit jam happened on Sunday June 3rd at Clopton High School. I went out and tried to keep up. I was easily the worst player there, but everyone was welcoming and patient, and I had some fun.
Just about everyone there got up to sing or jam, and some of those guys can really play. It’s pretty cool to see a whole family take a turn and tear it up!
The Allwoods raffled a harmonica and guitar away from Duane’s Music of Troy Missouri. Proceeds benefit Pike County Missouri Home Health & Hospice. It was a lot of fun for a good cause and I hope it continues.
Stephanie Trick is one of the best Stride and Ragtime piano players in the world. She calls St Louis, Missouri home, and thanks to the Raintree Arts Council she will be playing the Appleshed Theater in Clarksville Missouri on Sunday June 10th at 2:00pm in afternoon. If you’re looking for a unique Sunday afternoon a short drive from St Louis or Hannibal Missouri this is it!
