Have you ever heard someone say there is nothing to do in Wichita?
This weekend is filled with fun things to do and some things to put on the calendar for next month.
I held a private fund raising “Wine & Jazz’ event at Chester’s Chop House and Wine Bar two weeks ago and we had great attendance and raised some money for this great cause…had some fun too. First up is Kristen Sewell from Beauties & Beasts Rescue here in Wichita to talk about this worthy groups next fund raising event the “Fur Ball.” Get tickets NOW!
Beauties and Beasts is a state-licensed 501(c)(3) death row rescue located in Wichita, Kansas. Since our founding in October 2014, we have been able to save the lives of over 900 death row animals. We are a completely 100% volunteer run rescue, we also rely on 100% donations from our followers and supporters to carry out our mission to save animals in our community. www.beautiesandbeasts.org
Dan Stockemer stops by to talk about Sunday’s Prairie Hill Vineyard Balloon And Art Festival. “We are excited about the Hot Air Balloon and Art Festival a week from this coming Sunday, Oct. 21st, from 2:00 PM until 7:00 PM. Bring the whole family, the balloons lift off at 5:00 pm. There will be LOTS of fun things for the kids, as well as food trucks, art booths, and wines from Grace Hill Winery and Jenny Dawn Cellars, as well as local brews.”
Chad Eberly from Eberly Farms joins us to talk about this West Wichita destination landmark still owned by the Eberly family, It’s busy this weekend as the Farm plays host to the Ories Garlic Festival.
Orie’s Garlic Fest, put on by Orie’s Farm Fresh, returns this weekend for its second installment, and it was so popular last year that it’s grown to a two-day event with more garlicky food and more garlicky fun. We’ll tell you about the garlic fun going on both Saturday and Sunday.
Then Tom Brown is on to talk about the great weather and family fun to be had at Meadow Lark Farms. Why go to a Pumpkin Patch that had the pumpkins trucked in when you can actually see where they grow and pick your own. www.themeadowlarkfarm.com
Meadowlark Farm is a Pick-Your-Own peach and apple orchard, pumpkin patch and Hard Cidery just east of Wichita, Kansas. Located at: 11249 SW 160th St, Rose Hill, KS 67133.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2016 The Velvet Devil Merlot from Washington
When Hollywood’s surprise hit Sideways suddenly spawned anti-Merlot sentiments everywhere, Charles set out to rebuff the movie’s unflattering depiction of this great varietal. One sip of this bold, sultry creation and you’ll know he succeeded at making Merlot sexy again.
