This weekend in Salina, KS

Praisefest 5K brings a lively, community centered experience to CiCo Park in Manhattan, Kansas. Participants can run or walk, and supporters can cheer from the sidelines. People of every age and ability can take part, with an emphasis on movement, encouragement, and community spirit. Registration is open, and early rates are available for a limited time before prices increase.

Start the day with cars and conversation over coffee or your favorite drink at Blacksmith Coffee Shop & Roastery in downtown Lindsborg. Everyone is welcome, whether you drive a classic, a daily driver, or anything in between. The only requirement is that you like your ride, and it does not even need to be running or on site. Connect with fellow car enthusiasts from the area, share what you are driving or just talk shop, and enjoy a relaxed, come and go gathering.

Enjoy a relaxed, one-hour slow roll through Salina that blends easy exercise with friendly conversation. Meet at the west end of the Sunflower Bank parking lot. The ride is appropriate for adults and older children. Please arrive with a bike in good working order and wear a helmet.

Marking a decade of impact, the 10th Annual Gold Ribbon Gala benefits the Love, Chloe Foundation.

Expect an evening of dinner and drinks, spirited auctions, and powerful stories of courage that underscore the purpose of standing with families affected by childhood cancer. Tickets are $75 per person or $600 for a table of eight, and proceeds help sustain the Love, Chloe Foundation’s programs for local families. Table sponsorships are also available.

A regular D&D Adventure League game night welcomes experienced players and newcomers. Participation is free, and anyone interested in learning the game is encouraged. Open to those who already play D&D as well as those curious to try it.
