About
Hello! I am Sara, the creator of MyFestus.com. I live in Festus, Missouri, the 11th city I have lived in. I grew up and lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota prior to moving to Missouri. Since I was an itty-bitty little girl, I have worked in a variety of small businesses, in all different industries. I earned my B.A. in Professional Communication from Alverno College in Milwaukee, WI.
I moved to Festus in 2018, starting a new life chapter with my partner and Jefferson County-native, Jason. With the busyness of getting settled into a new state while working full time with two young children and navigating a global pandemic, I am just now getting out to explore this energetic community, full of beautiful nature, brave entrepreneurs and compassionate people.
As a “transplant,” I am extending my roots as I grow and thrive, while helping native residents, newcomers and visitors do the same. I am honored to publicly communicate local events, shine the light on people and places, share education and provide encouragement.
The MyFESTUS Mission is to:
- SHARE all there is to love about the Festus, Missouri area.
- CONNECT with people to provide a trusted resource guide.
- SUPPORT local individuals, establishments and nonprofits (a.k.a. MyFESTUS Friends) to increase their visibility and enrich our community.
I invite you to follow me on this fun journey. I share consistently on this website and on my Facebook and Instagram pages. Please subscribe with your email address for future communication.
Please send me a message if you have questions, suggestions and/or would like to connect. Thank you for reading and sharing.
