As of 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, Jerry’s will be solely a catering business, owner Jon Roderick announced in a Facebook post.

Pat and Ted Jones' Conservation Legacy Continues with New Trail
WEST ALTON, Mo. – Missouri State Parks will officially open a new biking and walking trail at the Edward "Ted" and Pat Jones-Confluence State Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024.
