ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — If you have to wait a little longer for lunch downtown this weekend, you can blame the Jehovah's Witnesses.
It's the latest big convention to descend on downtown. Explore St. Louis President Kitty Ratcliffe says they're expecting about 45,000 attendees from 43 different countries at the Dome at the America's Center.
Ratcliffe says the three-day Jehovah's Witnesses meeting comes a couple of weeks after 40,000 people with the United Pentecostal Youth Conference were downtown.
The theme for this year's Jehovah's Witnesses international convention is "Love Never Fails!"
