Eight cities in the KXCV-KRNW listening area are finalists for the annual Missouri Humanities Small Town Showcase.
The Missouri Humanities website has an online ballot listing 52 cities competing for one of five positions in the 2027 showcase.
The finalists include, in alphabetical order, Brookfield, Cameron, Milan, Brunswick, Salisbury, Stanberry, Trenton, and Weston.
The five receiving the most votes will work next year with Missouri Humanities on a film and a podcast about their city.
Missouri Humanities website says the showcase highlights the heritage and culture of Missouri’s small towns, sharing their unique stories of resilience, revitalization, and resurgence.
The online voting allows up to five selections and an unlimited number of votes.
The voting deadline is December 1st.
Winners in the 2026 showcase included Savannah, which has this description on the Missouri Humanities website: "Savannah, Missouri, located in Andrew County in northwestern Missouri. It has a population of just about 5,000 people, but the unique businesses, cultural offerings, parks, food, and events rival those of communities two or three times its size."
