Viking Brunch, the Viking Motel, Lindbergh at Watson Rd
This is your final chance of the weekend to visit with everyone and to say "see you later".
The food is outstanding and we will have a private room. No firm schedule; just eat, talk, and enjoy!
Traffic considerations for the weekend
Major re-construction of Highway 40 is underway. As a result, Highway 40 from Brentwood Rd. to Highway 270 is closed for 2 years. Many of the bridges which cross Highway 40 are gone and one must plan carefully to drive to destinations in that part of St. Louis.
The Old Webster Jazz Festival
On Saturday from 11 am to 11 pm, Old Webster will have their 6th annual Jazz Festival. This includes 2 live performing stages - on Gore near the railroad tracks and on Allen near the railroad tracks. There are lots of food courts available.
However, NO CARS ARE ALLOWED. Parking is on side streets and binging your own chair so you have a place to sit is helpful.
Webster High performs with excellence in this festival along side nationally known professional jazz artists.
