A Houston delegation will attending the 55th annual Missouri Community Betterment Conference that concludes today in Columbia.
On Sunday, Houston won first place for its display.
Houston is vying for honors in its population category during a banquet, which is this evening at the Stoney Creek Hotel and Conference Center. Two judges recently toured the community and learned more about Houston projects included in this year’s entry. This year’s theme is “Rural Rally.”
The conference is packed with sessions and speakers for those attending, which includes members of the Community Betterment and Arts Council of Houston and participants in Community Betterment Y.O.U.T.H.
The awards dinner starts at 5 p.m. Monday. Gov. Mike Parson is expected to attend.
