Celebrations at Cracker Barrel, 619 S. Ridge. Reserved.
2024-09-05 18:30 - 20:00
Although it’s National Be Late For Something Day, don’t be late for dinner. I know it’s National Cheese Pizza Day, but I’m thinking more of country cooking, like CB.

Friday. Kansas State Fair, 2000 N. Poplar St. in Hutchinson.
2024-09-06 09:00 - 15:00
Rather than to go on Monday, September 9th when it’s Dillon’s Dollar Day and the Admission is Free if you have a Dillon’s card, or $1 if you don’t. As part of World Fun Fair Month, we’re going to the fair on Senior Day when the admission is $2 for persons age 55 and up, to avoid the crowds. If you would like to carpool, text or call me at 316-573-9934. We can leave my house at 9 AM and leave there about 3 PM to return home. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Since it always seems to have a really hot day, a really cold day, a really wet day, and a real pleasant day, be sure to dress appropriately. And bring money for lunch and snacks. For more information, go to: https://www.kansasstatefair.com/events/2024/day-sponsor—kansas-department-for-aging-and-disability-services-young-at-heart-day.

Board Meeting at Country Cafe, 2804 S. Seneca
2024-09-16 18:30 - 20:00
Although it’s Mexican Independence Day and National Guacamole Day, CC doesn’t offer those items. However, I believe that they may celebrate National Cinnamon Raisin Bread Day. In any case, join us for a hot homelike meal and help us plan for the reminder of the year, or, at least, for the next month.

Road Trip to Abilene and Lucas
2024-09-28 09:45 - 17:00
we’re going to Abilene for lunch at Joe Snuffy’s on our way to Lucas.
We can carpool from my house, 932 N. Amidon at 9:45 AM so we can get to Abilene by 11:15 AM. Clark suggested that we drive “come up hwy 15 instead of going through Salina. That’s exit 34 just north of Newton. At US 56 it’s a jig jig go east a few miles and turn north on 15 again. Joe Snuffy’s is on South side of Abilene across from the courthouse. Turn west ( left ) at the traffic light which is 1st St. Go one block and the restaurant is on your left.” I asked Clark to meet us at Joe Snuffy’s, 209 W. 1st Street, Abilene, at 11:30 AM. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joe-Snuffys-Old-Fashion-Grill/200391436657342/),

After lunch, we,with Clark, can drive to Lucas which is about an hour and nineteen minutes to the Garden of Eden, corner of Kansas and Second Street in Lucas, where we will have a guided tour. Admission for seniors is $8.

There is much to see and do in Lucas, but it’s about 2 hours and 15 minutes to drive back home. Before we leave Lucas, I would like to have a picture of us all around the biggest toilet seat in the world and send that to our international newsletter. And we have to take Clark back to Joe Snuffy’s in Abilene.

If you are interested in attending, I need two RSVPs from you, 1) Are you going to join us for Lunch at Joe Shuffy’s and 2) are you going to join us at The Garden of Eden in Lucas? I need a count for Joe Snuffy’s and for the Garden of Eden. Please reply to me by email or text 316-573-9934 by Thursday, September 26th.
Thank you.
