FREE Concert in the Park with Chart-topping Performer

Mark your calendars if you're a big fan of '80's love tunes.  One of the kings of sappy '80's/'90's long haired, whispery love ballads is Richard Marx. He will be performing live in Andover's Central Park on June 22nd. 

Sponsored by the Andover Convention and Visitor's Bureau and BOB-FM, the concert is free, but does require picking up advance tickets at a list of select businesses. 

Andover is using this as a sort of "experiment" of sorts to gauge whether the city is ready for it's own outdoor amphiteater.  (Emphatically I claim "YES!" as an Andover resident myself.) Andover is set to continue to grow and the city is examining whether that growth will be residential or commercial.  Announcements were made this week of a new Middle School and High School to be built on the North end of the city.  (Read about it here)

Any-hoo, Richard Marx is a pretty big name to be gracing the Andover stage, he has sold more than 30 million albums in his 3 decade career as performer, songwriter and producer.  His latest look is sans long feathered hair, but I always loved his songs anyway.  

Announcements for the list of places to get tickets will be on the BOB-FM website on May 24th. Hope to see you at the concert!

First ever Kids Only Garage Sale

Trendy Tots Resale Shop and the City of Bel Aire are hosting the first ever Kids ONLY Garage Sale Saturday, June 8th, 9am - 12pm.

At this KIDS ONLY event, kids are invited to sell, shop and trade their toys, games, books, and sporting equipment to other kids. Each registered kids gets a booth from which to sell their stuff, and they are encouraged to do their own pricing, bargaining and trading/swapping in order to learn the value of business, handling money and recycling.

There is NO FEE to register and kids keep 100% of their profits. No clothing, household items or food allowed and all items must be clean and in working order. Recommended for children ages 6-16, and parent supervision is required for children under age 12.

Kids are welcome to shop even if they do not have a booth, and admission is free.

This community service project is the idea of Trendy Tots Resale Shop owner Chenay Sloan who was looking for a way to teach her own children the value of resale and a way to earn their own money. She shared the idea with other Moms and families and was able to put together this first sale that is a first of it's kind in the Wichita area.

You can find more information about the event and get your own kids registered at the Trendy Tots website under the Kids Only Garage Sale tab, or call the shop at 316-634-6996.  View the PDF flier for the event on Google Drive here.
