Open Streets ICT: A Dunkin' Good Time

Posted by: admin on Tuesday, September 11, 2018
By Tram Ngo Ever wanted to dunk the Mayor, Police Chief or a City Council Member or two? Well we've lined up your opportunity at Open Streets ICT on Sunday, Sept. 23. "What is Open Streets ICT?" you might be asking. Open Streets ICT is a FREE (we all love free) community-building event that closes a usually busy street to traffic and opens it for biking, walking, running, dancing, yoga and more. All Wichitans (that means you!) are invited to join the fun and to stop at local Douglas Avenue businesses, restaurants, street vendors and activity hubs. The goal of Open Streets ICT is to promote the interaction of local businesses and organizations with the community to help strengthen the connections in Wichita. You can check out the website here for more information. You might also be asking, "Why is the Chamber participating?Well because why not?! The Chamber's mission is to drive economic growth and community advancement in the Wichita region, so the mission of Open Streets ICT falls right in line with what we want to accomplish for our community. This is the second year the Chamber has participated in the event and you can see photos from last year’s activities on our Facebook album. This year, we're ready for a dunking-good time. $5 will get you three shots at sending one of the individuals listed below into a dunk tank. All proceeds will go to United Way of the Plains, so be sure to come see us in front of our building at 350 W. Douglas. Let us know you're coming by RSVPing to the Facebook event! Dunk Tank Schedule 1:30 p.m. – Jeff Longwell, Mayor of the City of Wichita 2:00 p.m. – Gordon Ramsay – Chief of Wichita Police Department 2:30 p.m. – Pete Meitzner – City Council member of District 2 3:00 p.m. – Jeff Blubaugh – City Council member of District 4 Interested in checking out the Wichita Flag murals along Douglas that day?
