Let's get to it! - Landon Huslig Chili Buns No, that isn’t a new pet name to call your significant other (although we won't judge). The Wichita Wind Surge has officially unveiled a new alternate identity (in addition to the Tumbas Vacas, Turbo Tubs, The Monrovians, Wranglers): The Wichita Chili Buns. An ode to the classic midwestern dish of Chili + Cinnamon rolls. The Wind Surge kick of their season on April 5th at Riverfront Stadium, but stay tuned for details on when you can catch chili + cinnamon rolls at the stadium as well as the new unis.

Menu Overhaul The Belmont has been a great addition to College Hill and Wichita as a whole. Great cocktails. Great food. Great vibes. Chef Jennifer Reifschneider is mixing up the menu with nine entrees and more. Newton Investment GAF is North America’s largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer and they’re bringing $300 million to invest in a new shingle plant out in Newton. Sam’s Club Are you a Sam’s Club or Costco type of person? We are Costco people, but mainly because we live closer. If you go to Sam’s, the whole receipt check at the end process is about to change thanks to the AI. STARTUP GreenField Robotics GreenField Robotics is not technically a “Wichita” company, but Cheney is close enough. They just received an investment from Chipotle’s $100 million venture capital fund. What do they do? At a very high level, robots that cut weeds rather than using herbicides.

CIVIL Minisa Bridge Minisa Bridge on 13th street west of Waco needs improvement. It is nearly 92 years old and will get ~$1 million in repairs and aesthetic rehab as the Wichita City Council approved the proposal last week. Wastewater Facility Much like an NFL placekick holder, you don’t hear about city infrastructure until something goes wrong. Last week, the City broke ground on a new wastewater facility as part of the BNR / Biological Nutrient Removal program. This will cost the City of Wichita a cool $357 mill and will be completed by 2027. LOCAL Riverfest Updates I have good news and bad news. Good news: Wichita is getting 5-time Grammy Award nominee Hunter Hayes to perform at Riverfest. Bad news: button prices have gone up:
$20 for a week’s worth of entertainment seems reasonable though and if we want bigger acts, it’s probably going to cost a bit more. More concert and Riverfest announcements coming soon. Book Bus Have you seen the Wichita library’s new book bus around town? Temporary Winter Shelter This year, there is a temporary shelter at 21st and Grove for our homeless friends. This is closing for good on March 31st, but that was always the plan. A more permanent location will be used in the future. Pints with a Purpose Head to Chicken N Pickle on Thursday, April 11th from 6 - 8pm for Pints with a Purpose where you can grab samples of beer and seltzer, listen to live music from Whitnie Means, get a free beer stein (if you’re in the first 200 to register), and most importantly - support League 42! Kansas Sneaker Fest It’s almost here! This Saturday is Kansas Sneaker Fest! The biggest event for all you sneakerheads out there. Local Teachers Teachers don’t get enough credit. Congrats to the 8 Wichita teachers who won a 2024 Distinguished Classroom Teacher Award!
