The public is invited to bring their ideas to an open house on Wednesday, June 6 at Roaring River State Park near Cassville. Sponsored by Missouri State Parks, the open house will be held at 6 p.m. in the River View Room of the Emory Melton Inn and Conference Center. The meeting will discuss ideas for both Roaring River State Park and Big Sugar Creek State Park near Pineville.

Representatives from the park will be on hand to provide information about the park and answer questions. Recent accomplishments and future plans of both parks will be highlighted at the open house. In addition to park staff, representatives from the Missouri Department of Conservation which operates the hatchery, and MO PARKS Inc. which runs the park concessions, will also be on hand to share comments with the attendees. Visitors are welcome to ask questions or comment on the park’s facilities and services.
