Maur Hill-Mount Academy hosted their annual Homecoming dance with us back in October! We enjoyed having them and it looked like they had a blast!

We were thrilled to host Jon Schallert, a nationally recognized marketing expert and small business strategist, this week while he was in Atchison! Guests enjoyed breakfast while Jon spoke about increasing sales and profits as a destination business. What a great turnout!

Last night we hosted the Atchison Chamber‘s Farm City Banquet, which celebrates the cooperation between farm families and those in the cities and towns that have made Atchison a unique place to live, work and raise a family.  The night was full of good food, entertainment by ACCHS Sound Masters (under the direction of Amy Eckert), and fun activities, including a homemade pie contest and auction! Here are some photos from the evening!
