Area schools gear up for 2023-24 school year
As a student, there were a few events or milestones, that helped keep track of how much “free” time was left to enjoy. First there is the last day of school. Then Memorial Day weekend and the opening of the city swimming pool. Vacation Bible School was always in June which kept us busy for a week, followed by Independence Day. After fireworks in July there was nothing left to be excited about. After mudding through triple-digit temperatures and seemingly endlessly long days, summer is obviously in full swing which means it is time to start getting ready for school! 07/11/2023 23:00

The Vesper Community Center, an all-volunteer run and staffed organization, is having an outdoor mural series of art scenes painted around the exterior of the facility this summer.

Trail Projects in North Central Kansas
Trail Projects in North Central Kansas
North Central KS - Do you enjoy the wind in your face during a bike ride or the feel of the earth beneath your feet after a long walk or run? The NCK Outdoors team has been taking action over the past two years to get more kids and adults leading active lives outdoors by developing multi-use natural surface trails in North Central Kansas. Three projects in Tipton, Beloit and Osborne have created more than 7 miles of great new singletrack and some of the best riding in the region. Two more trail projects are on the horizon in Lincoln, KS on the south edge of town to be named Quartzite Park and a larger 15 mile destination trail system at Glen Elder State Park will transform the region into a hub for outdoor recreation. 06/27/2023 23:00

And we all want to see more businesses with more good paying jobs available. So, if you hear someone say, “Well, she has some good ideas, but she doesn’t live here” you can say, “Au contraire. She splits her time between her home in Lincoln and her home in Wichita. And she’s involved in the life of the community so she’s listening to what folks are talking about.” 06/27/2023 23:00
