Good morning, Saint Joseph.

PumpkinFest celebrations in St. Joseph continued with a costume parade where families and children showcased creative outfits inspired by Disney characters, clowns, zombies and movie themes.

The parade featured divisions for families, toddlers and infants and winners received gift bags — festivities will conclude tomorrow.

Missouri Western held its first homecoming parade of the MoWest era Saturday afternoon with nearly 40 groups marching and 38 groups at a tailgate—groups that included a tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Women's Athletics as they celebrated campus history.

Organizers plan to bring back the event next year—inviting local boutiques, med spas, and restaurants to join the wellness conversation.
