🇺🇸 Memorial Day weekend is here, which means two things in Perry:

1. Honoring the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
2. Watching people slam on their brakes because they spotted a $3 lawn chair at a yard sale.

Please be extra cautious this weekend with the town-wide yard sales bringing increased traffic, parked vehicles, distracted shoppers, and the occasional person crossing the street carrying a w**d eater, three lamps, and a box of VHS tapes.

A few friendly reminders from your local police department:
• Slow down — the “YARD SALE” signs are not emergency alerts
• Watch for kids, pedestrians, and people wandering into the road staring at old tools
• Don’t block driveways or intersections
• Lock your vehicles while shopping
• And for the love of all things holy… PLEASE don’t drink and drive

Let’s keep the weekend safe, respectful, and accident free while we remember what Memorial Day is truly about!

PERRY BUSINESS OWNERS — PLEASE HELP ME AVOID AN AWKWARD CONVERSATION

It’s that time again.

Business licenses are due in MAY.
They become delinquent in JUNE.

I’m going to be completely honest… I do not want to have the awkward conversation.

You know the one.
The slow head nod.
The Heyyyy… sooooo…

Nobody enjoys that.
Not you.
Not me.
Not the clipboard I’m holding.

We live in a small town. I’m going to see you at Casey’s. At the restaurants. At a ballgame. Let’s not make eye contact weird because of paperwork.

Yes, it’s annoying.
Yes, it’s one more thing on your to-do list. Yes, I actually do have more important things to do… But it’s far less painful than me having to bring it up after June 1st.

Do your future self (and me) a favor:
1. Renew it in May
2. Stay in good standing
3. Keep me from practicing my “disappointed dad” voice

Contact City Hall if you have any questions!!

Thanks!!!

I got one too!

If you think Missouri courts are out here saying
“FINAL NOTICE SCAN THIS QR CODE NOW!!!”Then I’ve got oceanfront property in Perry to sell you…

This isn’t court. It’s a clown with WiFi.

Don’t scan it. Don’t pay it.

Laugh and keep living on!

Carry on, Perry!

Happy Resurrection Day! I want to share something that is deeply important to me personally.

This day to me is not just a holiday… it is the foundation of the Christian faith. It is the day we remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again three days later. The resurrection is a powerful reminder that sin and death were defeated, and that through Christ we are offered grace, forgiveness, and new life.

My faith in Jesus is single handedly the most important part of my life. It influences the way I try to live, the way I guide my family, the way I treat people, and the way I serve this community. The calling to serve others, show compassion, and pursue what is right are values that come directly from that faith.

Resurrection Sunday is a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope. Because of Christ, there is always the opportunity for redemption, forgiveness, and a fresh start.

So, from my family to yours, I wish everyone a safe and blessed Resurrection Sunday.

He is risen.
