Easter events are underway! Here's your guide of what's coming up!

Other events this weekend include Egg the Park at Riverside Park, Easter Scramble at Kechi Park.

Leading up to other events the following weekend such as the big Easter Eggstravaganza at Sedgwick County Zoo, the annual Ark Church Easter Egg Hunt, Bunny at the Bakery at River City Sweet Shop and more.

COMMUNITY
Wichita Parking

The City of Wichita is discussing whether to increase parking prices at certain parking lots and garages for events at Intrust Bank Arena, Century II, and Equity Bank Park.

This would not apply to the regular street parking where it is a dollar an hour.

COMMUNITY
Local Teacher Giveaway

It’s the final day to nominate a teacher! For what?

Let’s find a teacher who’s been working hard and send the teacher and their classroom on an all expenses paid trip to check it out. So let’s do that.

I want to send one local Wichita teacher and their classroom on an all-expenses paid trip to Exploration Place in either April or May. Busing courtesy of Wichita Public Schools Foundation , admission, a visit to the new Playscape, and lunch will all be covered by yours truly.

I need your nominations on who and why. We will select one teacher and send their entire classroom on us. Let’s give the kids a cool opportunity and love on a teacher who has excelled in the classroom.

CLOSING
Boones Pickins

It’s so crazy, I just stopped by last week to do a review on Boones Pickins in Andover, KS.

Less than seven days later, the restaurant announced it will have its last night of business on Saturday, March 28.

Located at 213 W. Central Ave, the BBQ restaurant has been open for years and become a staple of Andover in Andover Square.

NEWS
Blogs You Missed

Let’s catch you up on the blogs you may have missed over the past week from our website, Facebook or Instagram.

Something I wasn’t aware of until a few years ago was a service that cleaned your trash bins. Wanting to learn more about it, I joined Alpha Bin Cleaning and owner, Andrew Ramirez, for a day on the job. There I was able to learn about them, see what the process entails, and help educate others on something that may be new to them.
