Let's get to it! - Landon Huslig Flight Adventure As a parent, this makes me excited. As a Wichitan, this makes me proud! Exploration Place is already one of our favorite spots for the kids and for events, but the new destination playscape is going to take it to the next level.

TOGETHER WITH THE CITY OF WICHITA A few days ago, we put out a survey to understand how you consume info, specifically around City of Wichita news (if you haven’t filled it out, you still can). Did you know the City really is trying to inform the public about a variety of things, but their reach is limited? A few items of note:
Long story short, be sure to follow along with the City of Wichita on all socials and check out their website! Personally, I think their tiktok style videos are hilarious.

STARTUP Curt Gridley Curt Gridley and his wife Tracy Hoover started Groover Labs downtown in 2019 and it has been an incredible resource to Wichita. Sadly, Curt passed away a few days ago after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. I did not personally know Curt, but everyone I have talked to has raved about how great of a person he was.

But let reviews about ICT Muscle & Joint Clinic speak for themselves: "Dr. Keith is focused on the WHY of an injury or situation rather than just fixing it! He makes procedures and exercises easy to understand and involves you in choices of how to proceed. I would highly recommend him! (Prior to ICT Muscle and Joint, I was not a big chiropractic fan.)* *indicates sponsored content
