Good morning, Cape Girardeau.

On Saturday morning, Cape Girardeau residents braved the warm air to support vendors at Riverfront Market by buying produce, handmade goods and enjoying wine tastings — organizers provided lemonade, shade and live music to keep shoppers cool.

The market, held downtown, continues to offer a wide variety of local offerings throughout the summer.

Cape Girardeau Police and Public Works officials responded to a road buckle on the 300 block of Siemers Drive just before 3 p.m. on Sunday and closed the section while diverting traffic through a nearby parking lot — officials said repairs will take a few hours.

Sam’s Fine Jewelry owners and employees will host a pop-up event at Bourbon + Bitters on June 28 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. as they repair their Jackson store after a June 5 fire damaged the uptown location.

Crumbl Cookies will open a new store in Cape Girardeau on July 4—located at 3324 Campster Drive and serving fresh desserts like cookies, pies and cakes with carryout, curbside and delivery options—according to its website.
