Extension has a new home in Plattsburg. The group has moved its office to the former Tri-County Ambulance building on Y Highway just north of 116 Highway (Clay Avenue). The Extension has quite the road since being squeezed out of the courthouse more than a decade ago, including stops at the former chamber building at the corner of Main and Broadway (where Blondie Brews now sits) some time in Cameron, Mo., and a recent space-sharing partnership with the school district on Main Street.

In what has become a late-summer tradition, the Plattsburg Fall Festival Committee will be kicking off the school year with its annual Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 12, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in downtown Plattsburg. The event is free of charge. There will be a movie on main street, so don’t forget to bring blankets or chairs. Kids will get the chance to craft art on the streets with assorted chalk. Hot dogs, chips and water will be served, with popcorn during the movie and other sweet treats throughout.
The Plattsburg Fall Festival is also encouraging people to come help “stuff the bus” for their back-to-school supply drive. For every supply a student donates, they’ll be entered into a drawing to win one of 100 wristbands for the Jones Carnival during the Fall Festival this October.
For more information on the event, be sure to check out the Plattsburg Fall Festival on Facebook.
The 2023-2024 school year will kick off in Plattsburg on Tuesday, August 22. Lathrop also returns that day, while the East Buchanan School District will be back one day sooner on Monday, August 21.
