Community is not just a group of people, it is an energy, a feeling, and a vibe of connection.
Community is something the people build.
When people build and embody a connected community, they feel free to show up and SHARE who they are, knowing they will be embraced. As they do so, they are able to CONNECT with one another as they SUPPORT each other.
This kind of community can be built within our home, workplace, at family gatherings, within friend circles, in our hobby and faith groups, and within our city community.
Community is often created when there is an opportunity to get together and gather with one another.
So often, though, one has a get-together objection because they simply have no place or space to accommodate an actual gathering.
Fortunately, for our local community, there is now a clean and beautiful, neutral and centrally-located place with open space to gather to create this kind of community energy within any personal or professional circle.
The Common Ground is located on the corner of Main & North Mill Street, next to the sweet and colorful Schneider Park on our charming and historic Festus Main Street. This local place is ready to be THE open space for you to gather as you are building your community.
Recently renovated by locals Tom and Kristin Vogel, they have created THE perfect place for personal and professional classes, meetings, reunions, dinners, seminars, events, hangouts, and more.
They have thought of all the details to make such gatherings a success:
✔️TV/technology
✔️Color and mood-changing lights
✔️Different styles of tables and chairs
✔️Photography backdrop
✔️Real plants to feel alive
✔️Space for 60 people or less (900 square feet)
✔️ADA-compliant restroom
✔️Within walking distance to the Festus Library and all the shops on Main Street
✔️Affordably priced at $50/hour
✔️️Decor-neutral for you to customize the kind of connected, community-centered experience that you want your people to feel
This is a non-paid endorsement inviting you to check out and consider The Common Ground for your next event.

Tom and Kristin recently hosted a fun and engaging community gathering/happy hour in their energizing new space.
For me, it can feel an itty-bitty bit intimidating to show up to an event to meet new people, but whenever I go with curiosity to learn and connect with other people, I feel the supportive energy of being part of this connected community.
Tom and Kristen, thank you for creating the perfect place for people to experience a supportive, community-centered energy within their own personal and professional circles.
