Thank you to the community for making this happen! A donation jar was set out during the Doss day event for the community to donate towards local law enforcement. The wibbenmeyers decided to take the money raised and make it equal to donate $200 to Desloge PD and $200 to the Saint Francois County Sheriffs Department.

This donation wouldn’t have been possible without YOU, the community!

Thank you to the Wibbenmeyer’s for everything you’ve done to not only make the Doss Day possible but to donate 100 percent of proceeds to our local law enforcement!

Doss Day was a success in our eyes! We estimated that a few hundred people circulated through the event throughout the day and approx 50 were present for the memorial service.

There were people all the way north as Saint Charles Missouri and as far south as Jackson that showed up to the event.

Thank you to the a Wibbenmeyers for setting this event up, if it wasn’t for them Doss Day wouldn’t have been a thing. To not exclude anyone we don’t want to name individuals but we would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped with the concessions, as well as the volunteers that helped setup and take down. Thank you to the community for showing up and for your interest in local history!

In the words of Rick Wibbenmeyer “we’ll see you all for the 200th anniversary” 😂

We’ve received word that a bootlegger is on the loose in Randolph Township… and we need some sharp-eyed investigators to help track him down!

During Doss Day, kids can report to our Federal Agent and receive their very own Federal Case File. From there, they’ll have three investigations to complete:

Visit the City Clerk and obtain the freshly prepared WANTED poster.

Search the automobile display and locate the 1929 getaway car.

Investigate near the Prohibition Exhibit and find the bootlegger’s hidden moonshine jug.

Complete all three investigations, have your case file punched, and report back to the Federal Agent with the evidence.

⭐ If everything checks out… you’ve earned your badge!

This free activity is one of the ways we’re making history something kids can experience, not just read about. They’ll get to interact with our 1920s characters, explore the exhibits, and learn a little about Prohibition-era law enforcement along the way.
