Generally Chamois is a sleepy little town.  She’s full of yesteryear charm with Mom & Pop shops, the local bank and Post Office, she has a new General Store that just opened that offers groceries and gift items, a cool antiques store and old time trading post.  The local B&B (that’s us) is an iconic 141 year old school building that was converted into a bed & breakfast in 2007 by a local couple.  Chamois has a lovely park by the river with an RV campground, children’s playground, ball field and the local Lion’s Club facility.  With the addition of our new store and the Saturday Farmer’s Market now buzzing since many gardens are now flourishing – there is more activity in town than usual – which we hope is the new usual.

Two events dot the horizon this summer of particular significance...

The Missouri heat started early this year.  Temperatures soared into the 90’s before the summer solstice.  A little respite is on the way for about a week and some rain has made our local farmers happier.  Humidity has not been playing fair though, causing  you to be dripping wet just as you step out the door – and has been instrumental in keeping the grass growing, especially between the sidewalk cracks so it looks like a jungle going to your front door.

One of our local farmers started a UPick Market last Fall and it was a huge success.  We even took several of our guests out to the farm area and let them pick produce to the tune of a $1/lb.  The produce is absolutely lovely and during the Fall there was broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes and regular and heirloom squashes.
