The elusive Big Muddy Monster will be the center of attention at a number of Jackson County events this weekend, including a festival in his – or its – honor.

SYRACUSE â Town Council named new officers for 2021 during Tuesdayâs meeting, but the final gathering of 2020 ended non-harmoniously.
At the end of the meeting, nominations were opened for council president for 2021. Council member Tom Hoover nominated Larry Siegel, who then nominated Hoover as vice president.
Things then became a little contentious when current Council President Paul Stoelting suggested that since Siegel was going to be council president again, maybe someone else should be redevelopment commission president.
Stoelting said it was no reflection on the job Siegel has done in that role. âYouâve been a model of community participation and youâve done a great jobâ but Stoelting felt more people should be involved. If nothing else, he suggested someone else on the commission or the council should be co-president of the redevelopment commission.
