The Lake Saint Louis Farmers Market, now in its second year at The Meadows, is set to open April 6 at 8 a.m. This year, the market is looking to bring in local wineries and microbreweries.
Spring is here, and the Lake Saint Louis Farmers and Artists Market at The Meadows will open for the season on Saturday. This year, the market is hoping to bring in a new addition: local wineries and microbreweries. Carl Saunders, a director on the board of the nonprofit that organizes the event, attended the Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen work session March 25 to request the board's assistance in allowing liquor sales at the market this year. "I was approached by a couple different wineries interested in coming to the market," Saunders told the board. The market would only include wineries and microbreweries inside a 100-mile radius, keeping the local flavor of the market intact. Saunders estimated there were 10 to 12 wineries and …

After two aldermen abstained from the vote to grant Rocktoberfest a liquor license, city staffers brought out a copy of Robert's Rules of Order to settle the issue.
Two events with similar names were at the center of a controversy at the Lake Saint Louis board of aldermen meeting Monday night. The first, Oktoberfest, is a fundraiser for the Lake Saint Louis Ambassadors, a Community Association organization that is dedicated to promoting and improving the city. Last year's one-day festival was so successful, the organizers made it a two-day event for 2012 and moved it from its original home at The Meadows to the Lowe's parking lot at the Shoppes of Hawk Ridge. Oktoberfest will be held Oct. 6 and 7. The second, Rocktoberfest, is the brainchild of Greg Jones, who has spearheaded many charity events for Lake Saint Louis and the Lake Saint Louis Pleasure Boating Club. Jones is working with two foundations …

We nominate a Wentzville or Lake Saint Louis restaurant. You review it—and you could win a prize!
The Wentzville/Lake Saint Louis area has some great local eateries that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets. But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. That's where you come in. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark. That's why we have The Friday Food Critic column: You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth. This week's restaurant is BC's Kitchen, located in The Meadows in Lake Saint Louis. To add your review of BC's Kitchen, …
