It appears - looking at those unofficial results -overall voter turnout across McDonald County was a little under 42% with the highest percentage occurring in the Pineville East/West precinct with 49.9% voter turnout.
You can see more of those percentages and all the unofficial results at the link below. ⬇️

Jeremy Kelly West and his crew at Whitewater Hollow Farms in Oklahoma have bent over backward to make sure we had strawberries if our festival had happened. We encourage you to check out their page and visit their farm. They are willing to bring strawberries to Anderson on Sunday if they get enough orders. There is a post on the Citizens of Anderson, MO page looking for orders. You can also message the farm from their page as well. They'll bring some of their delicious berries right to Anderson if they get enough orders. Be sure to tell them thanks for helping make Anderson a better place to live, work & play!
After consulting with the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Springfield, we feel there will be too great a chance of rain to make the Berries, Bluegrass, and BBQ Festival a successful event.
We are CANCELING the festival.
We hate to do this, but we feel it is in the best interests of our vendors, bands, and visitors.
There is no reschedule date planned.
If we decide to put something together we will inform everyone on our social pages.
Thanks so much for understanding.😭🍓

The Anderson and McDonald County communities have lost a great friend and supporter. Kevin Wilson was always eager to help the Anderson Betterment Club promote our efforts to help businesses and people. He was a regular at our club meetings throughout the years and offered great insight and support. He was one of the "behind the scenes" workers. When we needed a problem solved, we knew we could call Kevin and he would help. Anderson is a better place to live, work & play in part because of the things Kevin did. He will be greatly missed. Please keep the Wilson family in your thoughts and prayers.
Kevin Wilson, 62, Neosho, entered the gates of heaven on June 8, 2021, surrounded by his loving family, following a lengthy illness. Kevin was born September 24, 1958 in Neosho, one of two children to Bill and Earlene Chrisco Wilson. He graduated from Neosho High School in 1976 and was
