If you look at the weather report from Friday onwards, we may or may not be out of the heat for the summer.

Let's get to it!

NEWS

No Fly Zone

The Blue Angels and the air show did not disappoint on Saturday. It was hot out and since we have little ones who aren’t particularly fond of extremely loud noises, we watched from afar (we sat in the parking lot along Kellogg in front of Towne East).

Unfortunately for those that planned for Sunday, the predictably unpredictable Kansas weather had other plans.

Storms came through and caused downed power lines, tree limbs, tents to go flying, and planes flipping which all led to a ~9:45am cancellation of all the days activities.

TOGETHER WITH ADVANCED ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATES

School and fall sports are here.

And with sports, come injuries unfortunately.

As Wichita's only Orthopaedic Immediate Care center, it has never been easier to get in and get taken care of quickly.

AOA is open 7 days a week for your convenience.

Meet Kalene Hoffman

Last week we mentioned that Toastique, a boutique gourmet toast and juice bar, is opening.

What we didn’t talk about is who is opening it.

Meet Kalene Hoffman who is already a Wichita entrepreneur and owner of Bodybar Pilates on 21st/Webb (and partners in a Bodybar in downtown KC).

It is awesome to see entrepreneurs in town tackle multiple businesses! One is hard enough.

Check out Toastique Wichita, opening September 7th at 9747 E 21st N Suite 115.
