COMMUNITY
A Big Thank You
Putting on a first-time event can sometimes be a scary thing. So many unknowns, so many question marks and of course, the biggest question mark on whether people will come or buy into the idea.
Over the past few months, I’ve been working with Cole Thompson, the founder of the Fortune 88 Run Club, and Bryce Lob, owner of One Life Spirits.
The goal was to add a little something special to the Delano Paddy Daddy Parade and the idea was a 5K event and post-run VIP experience.
Over 300 people showed up and a time was had!
First off, thank you to Xclusive Events who were so great to work with and secondly, thank you to the community who came out to support.
Shall we do it again?
ON SALE
Asian Night Market
The fifth annual Wichita Asian Night Market is officially set for Saturday, May 16 at Equity Bank Park. Tickets went on sale this week.
Savor delicious food, discover one-of-a-kind crafts, enjoy live performances, and end the night with a special fireworks show under the stars!
If you love Asian culture, the food, the music, the vibes, this is the event to attend.
Purchase your general admission ticket or get in an hour early to avoid the long lines with an early admission ticket!

The Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament will have its semifinal round and championship game take place at Charles Koch Arena on March 30 and April 1.
