Activities for everyone
WHAT’S HAPPENING: The safety of our guests and staff is of utmost importance to us. We are hopeful that the COVID-19 numbers in our community and southwest Kansas will begin to drop. Until then, we will keep things as safe as possible here; we are still wearing masks and practicing social distancing at the Center and at Transit. We also have lots of hand sanitizer available for you to use. We continue to be super diligent with the cleaning of our buildings and the buses. We plan to bring back more activities in 2021 and hope to get a few trips scheduled as the weather warms up. “Ride Free” continues on all of our transit buses through June 30, 2021. The Transit Center is closed on Monday, January 18 and the buses will not run that day.
