This year’s celebration kicks off on Thursday, June 19th at 6:00 PM at Chester I Lewis Plaza, 15 E 1st, Hutchinson, KS. Featuring opening remarks from Mayor Stacy Goss. The evening will include a Youth Talent Show highlighting the incredible talents of local youth, and a Health Fair hosted by Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, offering free health screenings and valuable community health resources.
