We would like to thank everyone who donated their time, efforts and resources to make our annual Optimist Club Easter Egg Hunt a great success! A special thank you to Randy Schwalm and Mid-Missouri Bank for their monetary donations. Thanks to the City for use of the Community Building and the Park. And finally, thank you to all the kids for coming out and making this all worthwhile! See you next year.

We would like to extend a huge thanks to all of those that stood in long lines Saturday to purchase food & drinks from us. Your response and support was above & beyond our expectations.

Your purchases will help better fund fiscal year 2021, and will guarantee the club is able to continue supporting youth activities in El Dorado Springs.

Considering that we sold entirely out of corndogs, we will not be open for business Monday. Thanks again, it’s great to be a part of such an awesome community!

If you haven’t noticed, there’s a great big yellow & blue “cook shack” setup along 54 highway, in front of Ehlers Variety. We’ll be there bright & early Saturday morning warming up the fryers and battering corndogs. Stop by and get a bite to eat and something cold to drink Saturday from 10-6:00 and Monday 10-2:00 for a price that’s hard to beat.

Along with corndogs we’ll also be grilling hamburgers. Save a little room for desert, because the wonderful women of the 9 Wonders Optimist Club will be serving Andy’s Frozen Custard, in multiple flavors from 10-6:00 on Saturday only, so don’t miss out.
