FSCC squads offer tattoo fundraiser
FORT SCOTT — Fort Scott Community College’s cheer and dance teams have found a novel approach to fundraising: by offering free tattoos.
The FSCC squads have partnered with two area tattoo artists for a raffle drawing.
Loran Must Tattoo and Kelsie Lindsey will each offer a free tattoo.
The first-place winner will get a free 6-by-6 tattoo from Loran Must of Kansas City, Mo. The second-place winner will get a free 4-by-4 tattoo from Kalsie Lindsey of Pleasanton.
Such body art can cost up to $600.
The tattoos can be in color or black and white.
For more information, contact the cheer and dance adviser Chelsea Yount at (620) 215-3808.
Parsons seeks new site for development
PARSONS — Organizers will look elsewhere for a housing development project that could bring as many as eight new homes to Parsons.
The Parsons Sun reported Parsons economic development director Jim Zaleski pulled a platting application that would have put the homes near Winway Park on the south edge of town.
The application was pulled because of neighbors voicing concerns about potential flooding with the new development, the newspaper reported.
Zaleski described housing as the community’s top need.
“My job is to do that where it’s wanted,” he said, according to the newspaper. “We’ll find a place where the residents feel they fit. We’re not here to try and squeeze a square peg into a round hole. But that’s how the residents feel. We respect their wishes and we’ll look to build brand new houses in another neighborhood.”
