Electrical work to repair wiring damaged by a lightening strike last June wrapped up at the end of April, and a crew was on site Monday through Wednesday this week repairing the church’s roof. The nearly 100-year-old church looked likely to be decommissioned and demolished until a community group, Friends of St. Patrick’s Church Spring Fork, secured a lease through the Catholic Diocese of Jefferson City that will keep the building alive. Mabel Bockelman, a group member, said donations have helped pay for the roughly $35,000 in construction costs. “Anything anybody can do to help is appreciated. Every little bit helps,” Bockelman said.

Arthur C Sims III, 8, drives one of his family's tractors, a 1943 John Deere H, in the Sedalia Heritage Day parade Saturday on South Ohio Avenue. The Horace Mann Elementary School third-grader has been driving tractors for several years and participates in tractor pulls said his father, Arthur Sims Jr., behind the boy. Event organizer, Terry Cockrell, said the Sedalia Heritage Day is a "spin-off of the city's centennial celebration". Last year's celebration involved a block party and car show, Cockrell said, and this year it is a downtown parade followed by a lunch at Hubbard Park with free entertainment and food. "We wanted to provide the community with an event where they are appreciated, it's not east side or west side, it is their own event," he said.
