When autumn leaves start to fall, there’s no better place to be than a spring. Missouri is home to more than 2,000 springs, which pump fresh water into our state’s rivers and provide a beautiful backdrop for cool-weather hikes and canoe outings.
Van Buren
Missouri Life encourages you to come and enjoy the fantastic Ozarks at Van Buren at a fall festival and concert on October 8-9.
Jeff Chapman is in his first year teaching music at Van Buren but before he started teaching, he was a musician. “I started out playing in the same room I’m teaching in,” he says. After graduating from Van Buren High School and briefly playing in his father’s bluegrass band, Jeff spent a few decades on the road with touring bands.
