Ty's Take
There's something about September at the fairgrounds that brings people out, and this year the Osage River Antique Power Association is counting on that old-timer appeal to draw crowds for their show the 18th and 19th. Meanwhile, word came down that the Juggalos are coming back here in 2027, which tells you something about how the lake area has learned to roll with all kinds of visitors and find the angle that works. On the heavier side, a St. Charles man lost his life in a Camden County accident, the kind of news that reminds us how fast things can change out on these roads. September's got that mixed feel to it, doesn't it, the good and the hard running right alongside each other.
