Experience the Best of Sedalia This August—Right Here at Lamy’s
You know what they say—August is for underdogs, air conditioning, and clicking that vote button like your reputation depends on it. Lucky for you, Lamy’s is nominated in TEN+ (yes, 10) categories in the Best of Sedalia awards. If that doesn’t earn us a little civic pride and a whole lotta clicks, we don’t know what will.
🗳️ Vote Like Your Brunch Depends on It
We’re up for everything from Best Date Night Dinner, Best Bar, Best Breakfast, Best Catering, Best Patio, Best Dessert, Best Hamburger, Best Restaurant, Best Bartender, Best Steak to Best Place to Channel Your Inner Hipster (okay, maybe not officially that one—but there were so many that we thought–surely). Show us some love and help us take home the glory. Your votes = our bragging rights = maybe a celebratory cocktail or two at No. 5 Bistro. Seems like a win-win.

🎡 Fair Week Pregame: Lamy’s Style
Headed to the Missouri State Fair? The fair is one of our favorite times of year—fried food, live music, and more denim per square inch than should be scientifically possible.

But before you hit the fairgrounds, swing by for a drink at No. 5 (cold, strong, and not served in a plastic cup), grab a sandwich from Kempf’s to-go, or hit the AC inside Josey Records and pretend it’s 1977.
Want to lean into the heatstroke experience? Our award-winning patio has seating ready for the brave.
Pre-fair food, drinks, shopping, and survival? We’ve got you.
🌿 New(ish) and Noteworthy: The Upcycled Line at Josey
You already stop by Josey Records for records and books (and possibly a little existential browsing), but if you haven’t checked out our Upcycled by Lamy’s line yet—what are you doing? It’s like sustainability and gift-giving had a beautiful, pothos-filled baby. Think: repurposed wine bottles, copper wiring, and living vines you can’t kill easily. The perfect “I care about the planet but I also care about aesthetics” kind of gift.

Grab one for yourself, your mom, your friend, or that coworker who keeps talking about being “plant-curious.”
🥪 Feed Me, Kempfs
Speaking of curious, ever wonder where you can grab lunch when No. 5 isn’t serving? Say hello to Kempf’s Country Market, your Monday–Saturday lunch savior. Meats. Cheeses. Tallow. A sandwich of the day served on sourdough with your choice of cheese, condiments, and a perfectly posed pickle spear. Add bacon. Add chips and a drink. Add joy to your life.
And yes, shopping local does taste better.
