It’s a milestone episode! Join Will and Chris for the 300th consecutive week of Cup of Coffee from Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach.

In this action-packed episode, we sit down with Camden County Auditor-elect Kris Franken for a deep dive into the controversial data center developments. We discuss the "Appendix L" loopholes, the annexation issues in Linn Creek, and what residents need to know about the protections currently in place.

Plus, we cover a massive list of local headlines:

• The Regalia Hotel has sold with big plans for a new sports complex.

• The Oasis progress update (new rides and parking garage).

• Halloween Events: Captain Ron's 20th Annual Costume Contest and the free Gravois Mills Family Halloween Fair.

• Ozark Law Season 3 premiere date on A&E.

• Election Prep: A breakdown of the amendments (Amendment 3, 6, 7, 8) and Proposition A.

• Cannonball Run recap: The massive charitable impact on the community.

• Local Hero: 17-year-old Victoria Moroski from Gravois Mills wins a World Championship in wake surfing.

We wrap up the show with a message on faithfulness and a look back at 300 episodes of telling your stories.
