COLLINSVILLE – Collinsville is turning 150 years old, and rather than celebrate for one day we are going to keep the party going throughout the year. The party will start on Sunday, May 29, during the Memorial Day Fireworks Celebration and will continue with events planned throughout the year. The Memorial Day festivities start at 2 p.m. and will feature live music, food, fun, children’s activities, and more for the family.

Our disabled communities deserve a seat at the table—and this
Satisfied stoners, pot-loving patients and enterprising entrepreneurs aren't the only ones celebrating the success of Missouri's decision to legalize medical marijuana — add to that list the state's many military veterans. According to information from the Missouri Department of Senior Services, some $5 million has been transferred this spring from the state's medical marijuana program to the Missouri Veterans Commission, a state agency that provides aid to veterans and their families. This marks the third such transfer of funds into MVC's coffers since the program got up and running, bringing the total haul to $13,978,820 so far. “Today, patients are being served by more than 180 dispensary facilities in Missouri — a 20 percent increase from last fall,” Lyndall Fraker, director of the DHSS Section of Medical Marijuana Regulation, says in a statement.
