More than 5,000 people are expected to pack downtown Jefferson City for this evening’s popular Living Windows event and the candlelight tours at the Governor’s Mansion. Living Windows committee chair Cara Alexander Stark, the co-owner of Cork and Board, has been preparing all year for the event.

“The last two or three years, the Jefferson City Police Department has let us know that there’s been about four to five-thousand people in downtown Jefferson City. And with the response that we’ve had this year as well as some of the new additions to Living Windows tonight (Friday), I’m really hopeful that we’re going to see that number exceed five-thousand,” Stark says.

Living Windows begins this evening at 5:30 and runs until 9:30. Jefferson City Police say parking will not be allowed on High street between Monroe and Jefferson. Ms. Stark tells 939 the Eagle that they have more than 40 pairings of windows and performers.

“So the whole point of Living Windows is to watch the windows come to life with performers from in and around Jeff City who showcase their skills. So we have dance studios, singers, artists. Everything from puppets to mermaids,” says Stark.

Ms. Stark also says face painters will be in front of Cole County Abstract. They’ll be able to paint pictures of Christmas trees on your child’s face for free. Living Windows officials are also excited about two brand-new drone shows that will be offered tonight. Cara Alexander Stark tells 939 the Eagle that the drone shows will be offered at both 7 and 8 this evening.

“So that’s put on by Starstruck drone shows, which is a company here in Jeff City that sends about 150 drones 400 feet in the air. And it will make a Santa Claus waving, we’ll have presents being unwrapped. It’s about a ten to 12-minute light show,” Stark says.

Starstruck drone shows describes its work as “jaw-dropping.”

Missouri Governor Mike Parson says the tree will be lit outside the Governor’s Mansion at 6 pm, and candlelight tours will follow until 8 pm. Toys for Tots representatives will be on-hand at the Governor’s Mansion, accepting monetary donations or donations of new and unwrapped toys.

(LISTEN): Key mid-Missouri state lawmaker focused on state employee pay for 2024

November 30, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

Cole County’s approximately 14,000 state employees received an 8.7 percent pay raise in February, under a bipartisan plan proposed by Missouri Governor Mike Parson. The plan received strong bipartisan support, and the governor signed it into law in February at Jefferson City’s Truman Building.

State Sen. Mike Bernskoetter (R-Jefferson City) tells 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” that he hopes the governor will highlight state employee pay again during his January State of the State address.

“We’ve been lucky in the last few years to be able to increase the salary. Hopefully we can do that again this year (2024) would be one of the main things I would think that we would do,” Senator Berskoetter tells listeners.

Missouri’s 2024 legislative session begins January 3 in Jefferson City, and the governor is expected to deliver his final state of the state address in mid-January. Senator Bernskoetter, who chairs the Missouri Senate General Laws Committee, says state lawmakers have also set aside millions of dollars to fund improvements to the Missouri Capitol’s aging interior. He’d like to see Governor Parson address that as well during State of the State.

“If you go around the (state) Capitol, you’ll see little spots with tape on them and stuff where the paint is peeling off. Right now the legislative library there’s some decorative I don’t what you’d call them medallions or something that were falling off the ceiling. Just you know, the building is 100 years old and other than a few coats of paint here and there and some new carpeting here and there, there hasn’t been much done to the inside,” says Bernskoetter.
