FESTUS, Mo. – The friendly competition to save lives is on. The Festus-Crystal Elks Lodge is hosting the ‘Battle of the Badges’ blood drive on Monday.

It’s from noon to 7:00 p.m. When you donate, you can select to have dispatchers, firefighters, or EMTs represent you. They’re going to see who can recruit the most donors.
