I wanted to share this opportunity from Mindy Fincham, Mitchell County Tourism Director.

You are invited to a free tourism training at Ringneck Ranch in Tipton on Thursday, June 11th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Representatives from Kansas Tourism will be present to go over how to successfully use their website, travelks.com, for your business for free to attract new customers. This is a powerful tool for your business, but it can be a bit confusing.

Please use this link to RSVP: https://www.travelks.com/travel-industry/events/kansas-tourism-101-workshops

If anyone from your organization or business can attend please do as this is a rare training in our area! Please note that while this is free, Ringneck Ranch will be making box lunches for $10 if you wish to purchase. Please register by Monday, June 8th to give Ringneck Ranch a number for attendance.

Explore Kansas through scenic routes, local events, and activities for families, food lovers, and outdoor fans.

'Thank you' doesn't begin to say how grateful we are. Without YOU this would never have happened. In less than a full year, YOU helped us reach the goal of revitalizing these tennis courts for our community and youth. Your generosity and belief in this vision will create a space for connection, growth, and play for years to come.

Work is set to begin in June, and we can't wait to see the joy it brings as kids take to the courts for the 2026 tennis season.

THANK YOU for helping bring this to life. We are beyond appreciative of our incredible community, Grant foundations and the family and loved ones of Philip Hardman, a devoted advocate of tennis who not only coached for 19 years at Osborne but also served as city attorney, and was a steadfast supporter of his community. We are beyond humbled.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for all who have expressed interest and/or purchased engraved bricks to honor a soldier!! Due to the outstanding response we have had for this project, we are extending the deadline for order forms to be returned to Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2nd!!!

Many people interested in ordering bricks are still searching for the military information they would like on their bricks, and we want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to honor their soldier!

Please remember that your soldier does not have to be from Osborne or Osborne County to be honored in the brick pathway! Please contact Stacey Jackson or Julie Dugan Wolters if you would like a form or have any questions!

Thank you for your support!!💕🇺🇲
