Wichita Prime Timers

ICT Drone Show by Exploration Place
2022-06-04 22:00 - 22:30 (America/Chicago)
(www.ictdroneshow.com). The newspaper article said that the show could be seen for miles around. Since it’s River Festival, I suspect that anywhere around Exploration Place is going to be hard to get to. Unless you have a better suggestion, I think that we should watch it from Braum’s at 201 N. Seneca. We can watch from inside or outside and have a frosty treat to boot.
