FEATURE EVENT
Pizzas for Peyton

Whatever food plans you have for Wednesday, February 25, I beg you all to change course and if possible, make your way to Colwich, KS and get some food from Gambino’s Original at 339 S. 1st St.

Its absolutely heartbreaking. I was told Peyton, a 2-year-old girl in Colwich, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.

Gambino’s will donate 40% of all food sales to help this sweet little girl fight to beat cancer. No need to mention anything. Just show up and whatever you get will help this child. At the very least, a share to draw more eyes on this event for Peyton.

You can also follow Peyton’s journey on her support page.

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.

THIS WEEKEND
Super Bowl Watch Parties

This year marks the end of a three year run when Kansas bars were able to cash in and celebrate a strong Chiefs run. But the big game continues and that doesn't mean you can't party.
