Past: Free Community Christmas Day meal

Ron Cook (Curly's Kitchen) and friends will provide a free traditional Christmas Day meal to be picked up by drive-thru pickup only. There is no charge for the meal but as always, donations are allowed but by no means mandatory. There will be three pickup times — 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. (Santa will be at this time slot.) You must call and reserve your meals ahead of time and everyone needs to be in the vehicle when you come through. Everyone in the vehicle will get a meal. Weather permitting, there will be Christmas music as you drive by. You may make your reservation starting at 8 a.m. on Dec. 21. There to call is (573) 204-3475 (Curly's Kitchen). Do not call the Elks Lodge.
