Are you interested in a dinner and discussion about getting kids outdoors? If so, please join us as we have dinner together this Thursday evening at 6:30 pm at the Remington Resturant at the Clarion Hotel on West Kellogg, Wichita, KS.
Dr Herb Broda, Professor of Education at Ashland University, will lead the discussion and give us all sorts of ideas and things to ponder. Please see the Outdoor Kids Dinner & Discussion Invitefor details.
The event is free, but each participant is responsible for purchasing their own dinner from Remington Resturant. Dinner options look yummy, and range in price from $7-$14. Please register here so we can get a head count.
This event is for adults only, but we will be inspired to go home or back to work and take the kids we know outdoors for fun, education, and connections to nature. Bring a friend and join us!

g2g Hike the Nature Trail
Posted by Tonya under g2g Outside Events, Nature, Outdoor Games, Places to Go, trailLeave a Comment
g2g is taking a hike! Join us for a hike along the Extension Office’s Nature Trail. We will walk the trail and play some fun trail games on Wednesday, July 13 from 6p-7p.
Tennis or hiking shoes are recommended. The trail is mulch, so it’s hard to walk on in flip-flops.
Bring friends and meet us in the back (east) part of the gravel parking lot behind the Sedgwick County Extension Office, located on the corner of 21st and Ridge Rd.
