Despite all the rain this week, it has been super fun to watch the progress on the new mural going up on the Wamego Public Library. Can’t wait to see the finished project!

We are beyond excited to kick off summer with Symphony in the Park. A free community concert and event in Wamego City Park on June 12th. This fun family event will be part of Wamego's America 250 Celebrations. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs and find a spot in the grass and enjoy an amazing night of music from the MHK Symphony. Food from Friendship House will be available starting at 5:30p, and beer and wine will be for sale for those over 21. Pre show events start at 6p, with the Symphony performing at 7pm.

Thanks to our amazing sponsors for making this a free concert for the community. Wamego Community Foundation, the Legacy Club from Bank of the Flint Hills, the Heritage Club from Kaw Valley State Bank and Trust, the Edna Mae Peddicord Charitable Trust, and the City of Wamego, Kansas Government for letting us use the beautiful Wamego City Park facility.

We can't wait for June 12th for a beautiful night to salute an incredible community.

We think the OZ Museum and the Yellow Brick road are pretty amazing too! Thanks to our friends at ITV News for featuring Wamego in their story of England's choice of World Cup locations this summer. Link to the story and video is in the comments.

What a cool story from earlier today. A BBC video news crew rolled into town for some “Kansas” footage for a piece on the English National team as they get ready to head to Kansas City as a home base for the World Cup. From the OZ Museum to a couple local musicians playing on the Yellow Brick Road it was quite a morning! We were their last stop as they fly back to England later this afternoon.

Welcome to Kansas friends, and “There’s no place like Wamego!”
