After a week of 12-hour days getting the displays ready in the Home Economics building for the Missouri State Fair, new superintendent Lynne Beasley said things are running smoothly for her and her assistants.
Beasley taught family and consumer science at North Kansas City High School for 25 years. She retired 12 years ago and she and her family moved to Benton County, near Warsaw.
