Nice weather ahead!!!

For mid-August, the next several days will be very nice. Temperatures will range around to below normal through much of the coming work week. 

The only chance for rain looks to arrive this evening and persist into early Monday morning across eastern Kansas and far western Missouri. Otherwise the coming week looks nice and dry.

Butler Chamber Yard of the Month for August

The Butler Chamber Yard of the Month for August goes to Keiya Shobe! We would like to take a moment to appreciate all of the work that Keiya has put into making Butler Beautiful!

Keiya told the Chamber, ‘This house has been in my family for over 50 years with several family members living in it over the years. 

At one point it sat vacant for years and was going to be torn down. That is when my father, Melvin Shobe decided to fix it up for me and my daughter about 15 years ago. 

I have slowly done upgrades over the years and recently had the outside redone by Nick Alkire. It may be a small house but I love it and all the memories, old and new that come along with it.’
