Good morning, Wichita!

We have an announcement coming in the Monday edition, so stay tuned!

Let's get to it!

Boulevard Theatres

KSN

I miss the old Warren Theatres.

Luckily, we still have a local option as Boulevard Theatres opened up in the Old Town Warren space. Now they’re offering beer, wine, and cocktails that you can serve yourself!

You can also see a tour of the theatre here.

Together with Parade of Homes

Mark your calendars!

The 2025 Spring Parade of Homes is here and you can see where dreams are built, and where inspiration comes home.

This isn’t just an event to tour homes (although they are amazing to look at), it is an opportunity to interact with the top builders in the Wichita area, ask questions, and get inspired about your possible future home.

There’s not one not two, but THREE weekends for you to stop by!

LOCAL

Spring Break Recs

We’re putting together a short list of spring break activities for you and the kiddos.

There are already some amazing guides out there which we will definitely share as well, but we want to hear from you! Any recommendations?

One option is Shocker Sports Grill & Lanes at WSU which is quite possibly the most affordable bowling in Wichita and they’re offering a half hour bonus for all bowling lane advance reservations (so basically you pay for an hour, but you get 90 minutes of bowling time) and $1 off combo meals as well.

Wichita’s Littlest Heroes

Wichita’s Littlest Heroes have an upcoming fundraiser Super Hero 5K and Family Walk, April 5 at Sedgwick County Park!

Wichita’s Littlest Heroes is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the families of children with complex medical conditions right here in our own community.

The registration deadline to guarantee a shirt and medal is March 10th however they’ll continue to accept registrations up until the day of the event as well!
