For the fourth year in a row, the Excelsior Springs Fire Department is participating in the Season of Hope drive, inviting residents to drop off new toys that will end up under the Christmas trees of families in need.
The annual Elf Factory returned to the Excelsior Springs Community Center on Nov. 22, offering families a familiar stop during Christmas Kickoff weekend. Children lined up with tokens in hand, ready to trade them for handmade holiday crafts.
The Springs Restaurant is quietly turning out some of the best comfort food in town. We went to see what all the talk was about.
What started as a simple hobby soon became a holiday blessing. Diane Carrel’s joy in collecting dolls has turned into a heartfelt act of kindness for local families. On November 22, she will give away more than 80 dolls at the Excelsior Springs Museum to anyone who could use a little extra cheer this season.
