COMING SOON
Bourbon Salute

The 8th Annual Bourbon Salute is a month away on August 8.

This year ticket holders will not only get to enjoy some delicious bourbon, there will be dinner provided by Station 8 BBQ, cigars from River City Cigar, wine, Una Vida Tequila for those who want something a little different, wine pulls and best of all.

..... thousands and thousands of dollars will be raised to support the First Sergeants Council at McConnell Air Force Base. A fantastic cause for our modern-day heroes.

I've never been and am excited to cross this one off my bucket list. Less than 100 tickets are left. Come join and let's have a drink!

Summer Sunflower is back

The Sunflower Summer program is back and runs from July 9 through August 2. It’s designed to provide a wide variety of ways for families to get out, explore something new, and enjoy time together.

By downloading the Sunflower Summer app, available on iPhone and Android, Kansas residents with students enrolled in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, are eligible to access 1 free ticket per child to 200+ attractions, museums, zoos, and more. 

Every headline satisfies an opinion. Except ours.

Remember when the news was about what happened, not how to feel about it? 1440's Daily Digest is bringing that back. Every morning, they sift through 100+ sources to deliver a concise, unbiased briefing — no pundits, no paywalls, no politics. Just the facts, all in five minutes. For free.
