Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, 2808 Old Hunning Rd, High Ridge, MO 63049, US

The High Ridge Knights of Columbus Council 8588, affiliated with St. Anthony's Church, performs a variety of fund-raising activities in the local community and operates a large banquet hall on Antire Road. The banquet facility is located on the grounds of the defunct Poco Loco Western Town, which the Knights purchased several years ago. In addition to being able to seat 200 for banquets in the main hall, there is also a smaller facility, seating up to 50, in the old saloon of the former tourist attraction. The Catholic, fraternal, charitable, family organization provides an honor guard upon request at wakes and funerals. The faith-based group has 120 members. With a primary mission of raising funds for charity, the Knights help support Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, as well as the local chapter of the St. Vincent DePaul Society through events such as a Night at the Races, dances and others.
