We have been receiving numerous emails this morning about the tornado that hit Joplin, MO. Most everyone in Fort Scott has friends and family in the Joplin area. The parents of Life in a Jar cast member, Ellie Perrey, had major damage to their business. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the path of this destructive storm.
