COMMUNITY
15-Year Anniversary and Cash Mob #2

The Depot Wichita: 711 E Douglas Ave
Monday, February 16
6pm to close

To celebrate 15 years of Wichita By E.B., I want to bring people together, help a locally owned business and raise money for the Kansas Food Bank.

I have some cool partners lined up and we are going to cover the first 15 pizzas to be placed on a buffet line for people. After that, let’s just have some fun, eat well, drink well, and tip well.

Plus I have some friends you may know, Larry, Jason, Justin and some others who will be donating some bottles of bourbon which will we raffle off with all proceeds going to the Kansas Food Bank. More details on that coming next week.

First select number of people buying raffle tickets or food can also get a free Wichita By E.B. T-shirt sponsored by my daughter's college fund. Sorry kiddo.

One Life Spirits, Una Vida Tequila, LDF Drink specials? Shot specials? Duh!

100% of ticket sales donated to KFB
100% of tips goes back to the staff
100% of sales stays here with The Depot and its local employees

Let’s bring people together, support local and celebrate 15 years of the most annoying blog to ever hit Wichita.

NEXT WEEK
Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year! It's almost time to welcome the Year of the Horse. There will be many events all over town. Churches, restaurants, and local businesses will be getting in on the fun.

I looked around for what's taking place for the new year and rounded up some of the best events in Wichita to mark the occasion and help you celebrate. Please let us know if you see an event that we don't have listed. Just send me over an email or submit your event below.

TOMORROW
Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s is designed for connection, celebration and a little indulgence. Sip your way through a prosecco cocktail flight, enjoy dinner from a beautifully styled grazing spread and soak in an over-the-top party atmosphere made for laughing, mingling and making memories. Strike a pose at the photo backdrop, then slow things down with a hands-on bouquet bar where you’ll create a custom arrangement to take home — a floral souvenir of a night well spent. Sweet treats, stylish details and thoughtful touches round out an experience that feels equal parts elevated and effortless.
