Good morning! This is one of those weekends where you’ve got options… and they don’t really match each other 😄

There’s a boutique crawl in Troy pulling 2,000+ people, the farmers market is back for the season, and somewhere in the middle of all that…

You’ve got a princess tea party, a pop-up zoo experience, and a bingo night that’s expected to be packed.

It’s a little bit of everything.

And somehow… it all works.

Alright — here’s what’s happening around Wentzville 👇

Your ad is working. Your website isn't.

Every click you're paying for lands on a homepage built to explain — not convert. Menu, photos, maybe a contact form buried at the bottom. By the time someone figures out what to do, they're gone.

A funnel page fixes that. One message. One action. Nothing in the way.

Nimbl Funnels will build your first funnel page — free.

No retainer. No obligation. Once it's built, they'll reach out, show you exactly how it compares to where you're sending traffic now, and walk you through what a full funnel would do for your business.

You keep the page either way.

If you're running Google or Facebook ads and the phone isn't ringing the way it should, claim your free page at nimblfunnels.com.

🌄 The white cliffs you didn’t know existed… 35 minutes from Wentzville

You know those places that feel like they should be way farther away than they are?

This is one of those.

If you’ve ever driven out toward Augusta for wineries, you’ve probably passed right by Klondike Park without realizing what’s tucked just off the road.

And honestly… it doesn’t look like much from the entrance.

But once you’re in, it’s completely different.

Klondike Park used to be a silica sand quarry—which sounds kind of random until you see it.

Because what that left behind is something you don’t expect to find around here:

🏞️ white sand cliffs and bluffs
🌊 views overlooking the Missouri River
🌿 quiet trails that feel a little more “remote” than most parks nearby

It’s one of those places where the landscape just feels… different.

The trails are where it really stands out.

You can keep it easy and flat on the gravel paths…

Or take the Hogsback Trail up into the bluffs—which is a little more rugged, a little steeper, and 100% worth it for the view at the top.

There’s a stretch where you’re looking out over the river, with the cliffs and trees all around, and it doesn’t really feel like you’re still in St. Charles County.

More like you accidentally ended up somewhere out west.

And it’s not just hiking.

You’ll also find:

🚴 access to the Katy Trail
🎣 a lake for fishing
🛶 paddleboard + kayak rentals in the warmer months
🏕️ campsites and even small cabins if you want to stay overnight
🦌 wildlife (deer, birds, and the occasional “what was that?” moment 😄)

But the part that stands out most?

It’s usually not crowded.

Even on a nice day, you’re not shoulder-to-shoulder with people.

It’s quiet. Open. A little tucked away.

The kind of place where you can actually hear the wind, the water, and your own thoughts for a minute—which is harder to find than it should be.

It’s also one of those parks that works for almost anything:

• quick walk
• longer hike
• slow afternoon by the water
• or a full weekend if you want to camp

If you’ve been wanting something outdoors that feels a little different—but don’t want to drive hours to get there…

This is probably closer than you think.

And if you’ve already driven past it a dozen times without stopping…

This might be your sign to finally turn in.

That’s everything for this week.

If you find this helpful, feel free to forward it to someone else who’s always asking “what’s going on this weekend?”—that’s how this keeps growing.

And if you’ve got an event, business, or something local worth sharing, just reply and let me know.

Have a great weekend 🙌
