There will be a ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 25, at the Fanning 66 Outpost and General Store in Fanning, Mo., to dedicate a plaque in memory of longtime Route 66 business owner Fran Eickhoff.
The Outpost, as you may already know, is the home of the World’s Largest Rocking Chair. The plaque will be under a canopy right outside the store, so it would be somewhat protected from the weather.
Eickhoff was the longtime owner of the beloved Route 66 Lounge in Cuba, Mo. She died in August 2008 after a lengthy illness.
