Poplar Bluff pool to be run by Jaycees this summer
Main Street Southeast Missouri reports the Poplar Bluff Junior Chamber of Commerce will operate the city swimming pool this summer after the city council voted to turn it over to the Jaycees once they show the pool is ready. The pool, built in WPA days for about 40000, has never hosted swimming and has served as a game fish rearing pond. Kennett seniors plan a gasoline station fundraiser to cover graduation costs. Caruthersville hosts the annual high school spirit festival with nine schools performing songs readings and short plays in the auditorium.
