KC Wolf, the beloved mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs, will be in Poplar Bluff on April 8 during the eclipse. His appearance is sponsored by Missouri Highlands Healthcare.

The announcement was made Monday morning in front of the Missouri Highlands office on Barron Road. Robbie Myers, director of the Butler County Emergency Management Agency, appeared with The Greater Poplar Bluff Area Chamber of Commerce Director Steve Halter, as well as Missouri Highlands CEO Karen White and Director for Medication Assisted Treatment Lisa Martin.
