Since July is National Picnic Month, we’re going to try it as a theme again. But it’s also National Corn Fritter Day and Fresh Spinach Day to inspire you to bring your favorite picnic foods and side dishes. And don’t forget desserts since it’s also National Cherry Day, and National Ice Cream Month. Our Guest Speaker will be Angel Gomez, Associate Vice President of Guest Sales & Service for Celebrity Cruises. Angel will tell us all that we need to know about Cruising!

Lunch With The Guys, Picnic In The Park, at Sims Park, 2020 W. Murdock
2022-07-22 11:30 - 13:00
I’m sure we can beat the bushes to find a couple of trees we can tie up for National Hammock Day. And National Mango Day tells me that we picked the perfect day to go to the park for our picnic lunch. In fact, let’s have a real picnic! We’ll bring a small grill to cook hot dogs; if you want anything else grilled, bring it, but not a side of beef! We’ll bring the buns and condiments and you bring sides. And for desserts, don’t forget that it’s also National Creme Brulee Day and National Penuche Fudge Day, or whatever you want to bring to share.

Do not try this at home, unless you’re going to film it. Or come and play cards, safely, with us. And if you wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, remember
it’s National Chicken Finger Day; that would be the chicken’s middle finger!

Dining OUT at the Pumphouse, 825 E. Second St. N. in Old Town.

It’s National Chili Dog Day, and the Pumphouse has Chili Dogs on their menu, along with some other good things to eat: www.pumphousewichita.com/menus. And they have seating both inside and outside. Unfortunately, they don’t take reservations, so whoever gets there first gets to decide whether we sit inside or outside. Ask for a table for eight that we can add to if needed.

Guys Night OUT at Rain, 518 E. Douglas.
2022-07-29 19:00 - 21:00
Since it is Rain Day, I thought it would only be appropriate to go to Club Rain for Guys Night OUT and not because it is National Chicken Wing Day and National Lasagna Day in hopes that they would have that on their buffet, but we’ll see. It’s also National Lipstick Day, another reason to go to Club Rain.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S Seneca.

So, come out for a friendly game of bowling, either as a bowler or as a fan. And since it’s National Cheesecake Day, we’ll probably go somewhere to eat afterwards.

It’s the Northwest Arkansas Naturalists playing our home team, the Wind Surge. You say Naturals and I say Naturalists, so who do you think will really bring in the crowd? The Wind Surge, of course! I’ll meet you at the box office to give you a free Field Box Voucher where you can sit on your bum on the berm. Or, you can pay extra to upgrade at the box office. And regardless of whether it’s raining or not, I’m not canceling!

2022-08-13 15:30 - 17:30
