 Wendy’s has given its cheeseburgers a taste lift and are taking them on tour giving away 37,000 free burgers along the way. They’re callling it Dave’s Hot N Juicy Cheeseburgers in honor of founder Dave Thomas.
The bad news is the tour isn’t stopping in St. Louis but if you happen to be in Kansas City on Nov. 9 or Columbia on Nov. 12, you have a crack at getting a freebie.
Les Bourgeois is located near Rocheport a mile north of I-70 midway between St. Louis and Kansas City. There’s a $3 cover charge for the music series.
Here’s the lineup for the rest of the season:
9/3, Django’s Tiger
9/10, The Baboonz
9/17, Planet Jazz
10/1, River City Singers
10/8, Primitive Soul
 Southwest Airlines just announced a “Click N Save” Sale with several destinations from St. Louis. The sale prices are a bit disappointing, though–one one (Kansas City, $79 one way) is less than $114 and many are more than that.
The sale is not listed on its website and apparently is only available when you sign up for its weekly email offers.
Thanks to the Blue Star Museums Initiative, active duty military personnel and their families have free admission to many museums across the summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day, 2011. Here are the Missouri museums that are participating:
