Good morning, Columbia.

New Breed Motorcycle Club hosted a chili cook-off and motorcycle show Saturday at the American Legion in Columbia to raise funds for the Welcome Home Veterans Project.

The club, now in its 13th year, aims to encourage recovery from addiction by leading with a sober lifestyle.

Hundreds gathered at Stephens Lake Park on Saturday morning for the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's, raising funds toward a $195,000 goal and adding to more than $75,000 already raised (donations collected on Saturday will be processed on Tuesday).

The Alzheimer's Association plans more events to support research and care in our community.

Local organizations in Columbia are hosting sensory-friendly Halloween events later this month to help children with different sensory needs enjoy spooky fun.

These events are planned to offer a welcoming space without pressure for families.

The free 67th Boone County Art Show displayed 200 artworks at the Central Bank from Saturday morning until 5 p.m. and Sunday until 4 p.m., with cash prizes awarded at 4 p.m. Sunday and local educator Farah Nieuwenhuizen winning first prize.

Columbia artist Sarah Nguyen brings ancient myths to life in her exhibition 'Elegant Edge: Reclaiming the Mythic Feminine' at Orr Street Studios, where her hand-cut paper art explores female figures from mythology.

The exhibition runs through Oct. 31 (106 Orr St.).

Volunteers planted 31 trees Saturday morning at Shepard Boulevard Elementary to add shade and green space to the campus.

Caleb Knerr led the project using a Missouri Department of Conservation grant with help from over a dozen local residents.
