Third Thursday is Joplin’s trademark cultural event when thousands of people fill Main Street Joplin to enjoy local art, music, entertainment, and food.
On June 19th, Leggett & Platt sponsored the festivities and joined the fun. One of our very own 18-wheelers parked on the 500 block of Main Street and became a “mini museum” for visitors to walk through and learn more about our products, people, and culture. Our space also featured four mattresses as blank canvases — we encouraged visitors to let their creativity shine and paint them!
