Good morning, Belleville.
🏘️ Community
The Tri-County Antique Club will host its 34th Annual Olden Days Festival on August 23rd and 24th with tractor pulls, demonstrations, and vendor booths at 23946 State Highway 3 in Dow.
Organizers promise family-friendly fun—featuring breakfast, a car show, and a raffle—with proceeds supporting the club’s mission to preserve agricultural history.
📰 Economy
Ameren customers saw steep electric bill increases in July with one person paying $1,808, but a watchdog group said the power plant owners—who sell power to Ameren—are driving the high prices.
Ameren said that on Oct. 1, rates will drop to about .08 to .09 per kilowatt-hour and customers can call to arrange budget billing or payment plans.
