Info on Maryville,Nodaway County Area (Kansas City, St. Joseph: college, restaurant, shop)

[STRAIT]

We are considering a move to the Maryville area. Does the county ever have problems with flooding? What are the winters like? Is it mostly ice or snow??

Are the 4-H clubs very active in the county? Does the area have many calf roping events?

Hi Strait, I go to Maryville every christmas. The winters arent too bad just mostly ice and sleet and snow dosn't usually stick around too long. Its a nice college town that has a few restaurant and shopping choices. Im not aware of any major floods in the area. As far as the 4H and Cow Roping events, I have no idea.? Im just a city slicker that goes down to Missoura to visit relatives. (=

Shouldn't have any problems with flooding in Maryville.

Winters I would say are all relative to where you're coming from. Generally brisk with occasional nice days as well. I would say more snow with Kansas City getting a bit more ice to the south. Recent years haven't been terribly bad though.

As for the 4-H...I'm not sure, but I'd assume it to be active. I think there at least used to be a sign welcoming you to Nodaway County driving NB on Hwy 71 from the local 4-H. Maryville is very much an agricultural area, but the city itself is very much a small college town. If you want to avoid this as much as possible I'd say stay away from the Northwest part of the city. But in general I think the college is good for the town and vice versa.

No clue on the calf roping thing? I'd assume there would be stuff like that offered a bit to the south in St. Joseph.
