HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Third Thursday in Downtown Hutchinson is all about fighting spring fever by being outdoors on April 20.
“We’re celebrating spring fever,” Loribeth Reynolds, Hutch Rec Marketing Manager, said. “Cure your spring fever by getting outside in beautiful Downtown Hutchinson. The tulips are blooming and of course the trees are abloom as well.”
Reno County families and residents will be able to come out and enjoy plenty of fun activities and events throughout the evening.
The Family Community Theatre, the Flag Theatre, will be performing five short plays at the Avenue A Gazebo.
Musicians will be performing from Avenue A stretching to 2nd Ave.
Axe It Up Hutch will be providing thirty-minute free axe-throwing sessions.
For a Touch-A-Truck event, the streets from Avenue C to Avenue A will be blocked off for kids to get familiar with the different trucks utilized by local services.
There will be trucks from the City of Hutchinson, Hutchinson Fire Department, Reno County Sheriff’s Office, and more.
Then the Eagles of Reno County Special Olympics team will be fundraising by selling cotton candy.
Additionally, there will be opportunities to operate toy trains with Richard the Train Man at Toy Depot.
Of course, crafts vendors, information booths, and artists will line up downtown too.
As is tradition on Third Thursdays, Downtown Hutchinson businesses and restaurants will be open later as part of the event.
On Thursday, April 12, Reynolds said Hutch Rec’s full lineup and newsletter will be sent out.
