September 9th to 18th, Kansas State Fair, 2000 N. Poplar, Hutchinson.
2022-09-09
This is the 109th year for the Kansas State Fair. Admission is $4 for seniors and $7 for adults before September 9th or $6 and $10, respectively, after at Dillon’s or at the fairgrounds. However there are two days this year when the admission is cheaper. Monday, September 12th admission is FREE with a Dillon’s card or $1 without one. And Thursday, September 15th is $2 Day for anyone 55 years and older. I think we should leave by 10 AM to get there in time for lunch and walk around the exhibits, maybe take in a few rides and get sick before heading home in the afternoon. What day do you want to go? Call or text me at 316-573-9934 so we can decide.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca.
2022-09-10 15:30 - 17:30
For World Suicide Prevention Day, we offer bowling. Seriously, it’s known to help prevent depression and anxiety. It’s great
exercise and an opportunity to socialize. Come out to bowl or be among our great fan base. While it may be National TV Dinner Day, I think we can do better than that; after bowling we’ll go somewhere to eat.

Board Meeting at Country Cafe, 2804 S. Seneca
2022-09-12 18:30 - 20:00

Coffee With The Guys at Delano Diner, 1220 W. Douglas.
2022-09-20 09:00 - 10:00
National Pepperoni Pizza Day, National Fried Rice Day, National Queso Day, National String Cheese Day, and National Punch Day are all good reasons to go out to eat. While none of them are on the menu here, other favorites are: www.delanosdiner.com/menu. I’m told that there is no need for a reservation on Tuesday, but they have noted our coming. So again, I’m imploring on whoever gets there first to find a table big enough for eight to ten people.
