ST. LOUIS — The 2022 Gateway Outdoor Expo has been announced for Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, at America’s Center Convention Complex in downtown St. Louis. The event will showcase new outdoor gear, services, and resources as well as interactive demos and experiential attractions — all in a festive, family-friendly environment. The Expo was rescheduled in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Big news for 2022 is that entrance to the Expo will be free to the public, making it more welcoming and accessible than ever before. In addition, the Expo has partnered with GO!

ELSAH - The Historic Elsah Foundation Talks continue with author, artist, and storyteller, Janet Riehl, coming to Farley Music Hall this April. "We listen with interest and amusement when our parents tell us stories about our grandparents, and also when grandparents inform us of great grandparents. These intergenerational accounts—some yarns, some legends—create our personal histories; they confirm who we are." Janet Grace Riehl is heir to over 150 years of tales that the Riehl-Thompsons have swapped. These stories have shaped six generations of working and living atop the bluffs above the Mississippi in Jersey County. In “The Stories that Shape Us,” (to be presented April 28, 2022, at 7:30 p.m., at Farley Music Hall, Elsah, Illinois) Janet will tell about the power of stories and how her family’s narrative is woven into the life of our community. Janet is a country girl who roamed the world and then followed her heart back home to Riverbend. She i
