April Fool's Day
2026-04-01
This is going to be a full day of wonderful activities. As far as I am aware, this is the first full day ever planned and the most activities ever attempted in one 24-hour period. We will start off at 7am at the Sedgwick Co. Zoo. I have arranged for us to be able to assist the veterinary dentists clean the lion’s teeth, followed by pooper scooping the elephant exhibit. Then it’s off the the Wichita Skateboard park for an hour of skateboarding. Please bring your own knee pads and helmets. We will break for lunch before heading to Jabara Airport for some skydiving. Then, we move back to downtown, where we will have races to the top floor of the Epic Center via the stairs. It will be permissible for people with mobility issues to use the elevator back down to the ground floor. Or you can choose to repel from the outside. Bring your own ropes! Before dinner, I say let’s go to South Ridge lake for some waterskiing and tubing. There is a $75 person charge for boat rental, and it’s first come, first served for the only two life preservers. So don’t be late. Then it’s dinner time at the newly remodeled Diarrhea Diner. You can dine in or get yours to go, go, go. After dinner, we will need to work some calories, so back downtown to the YMCA for racing around the walking track with 100 pound backpacks, 75 pound for those over the age of 72. Then what better way to finish the day than going to the new Gilley’s Nightclub/Casino where we will each chuck 5 tequila shots and then ride the mechanical bull. Rest assured that medical help will be available at most of the events and that the local EMS have been advised of our schedule. Pick and choose but I really hope that many will at least attempt all of today’s events, Scott.
