Midget wrestling set to shake up Ellis County Fair

By CRISTINA JANNEY Hays Post

The Paradise Flats Theatre Collective will present the first of two performances this morning, featuring local students.

The program started as a theater program for Plainville elementary students as part of its summer school program.

Last year, USD 270 opened the program to all students and added a section for students in grades 3 through 12. The program has more than doubled since the expansion, with students coming from six schools, as well as home-schooled students participating, music teacher Adam Flax said.

This year, the young student program had 63 enrolled students, and the older student session had 30 enrolled students.

"It's been exciting to see it grow," Flax said.

In addition to practicing for their performance, the students have been learning about theater traditions and superstitions this week, Flax said.

The younger students' program will culminate at 10:30 a.m. today with a "Peter Pan" performance at the Plainville High School auditorium. All are welcome. Admission is through a free-will donation.

The older students' session will begin on Monday and culminate with a "Broadway Ever After" performance at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 27, also at the Plainville High School auditorium. The show is a compilation of Broadway favorites, all with fairy tale themes.

"I think the program emphasizes teamwork when you have to put a show together, especially in a short time," Flax said.

The students are also encouraged to flex their imaginations and put themselves in other people's shoes.

"They also get exposure to theater and the arts," Flax said. "They don't get a lot of access to that, especially in this area. They latch onto it and come back summer after summer to be a part of it."

Three-day weather outlook

MAYETTA — We are thrilled to announce country music star Gary Allan is performing at our Great Lakes Ballroom on September 4 at 7 p.m.! 

Writer and frontman to three platinum-certified albums, Allan’s stirring brand of country continues to excite. With his signature rasp and soulful lyrics, Gary Allan’s been writing and performing country songs for as long as he can remember. 

Signing with Decca Records in the mid-'90s and releasing his debut album Used Heart for Sale in 1996, Allan would quickly see success led by hit single “Her Man.” In 1999, Allan’s third studio album Smoke Rings in the Dark served as a breakout hit to the mainstream country music scene. 

Over the years, Allan’s albums have earned three platinum certifications and four gold certifications. Coming off the heels of his tenth studio album Ruthless, which peaked at #8 on the U.S. Country charts, Allan’s focused storytelling continues to compel, entertain, and certainly honky-tonk. 

We look forward to hosting you as Gary Allan performs at our Great Lakes Ballroom on September 4!

KZ Country Cheesy Joke of the Day 06/11/25

By JONATHAN ZWEYGARDT Hays Post

Automobile enthusiasts will once again take over downtown
Hays and Municipal Park this weekend for the annual Thunder on the Plains Car,
Truck and Cycle Show.

Last year, the annual event that brings together cars,
trucks, motorcycles, and tractors from across the region celebrated its return
to downtown with more than 230 attendees, and this year, they will celebrate
their 10th year on Friday and Saturday. 

The event will, once again, begin with the cruise-in
starting at Big Creek Crossing at 6 p.m. on Friday. The
cars will travel to 27th Street, then proceed down to Main Street
and the park. 

Jackie Lang, a member of Thunder on the Plains, said they
would like people to line Main Street to get a good look at the
cars that will be on display on Saturday.

"If people want to see that parade of cars, they're sure
welcome to come down and see it," Lang said. "That's a good way to see a lot of
the cars that are going to be in the show, just to come down."

Once at the park downtown, there will be a barbecue. And if
you want to register a vehicle but missed the preregistration deadline, you can
register on Friday night.

Saturday’s event opens with registration from 7:30 to
10 a.m. at Municipal Park.

The live auction will take place at 12:30 p.m., followed by
the awards ceremony at 2 p.m.

There are more than 50 awards up for grabs and $1,000 in cash
prizes. 

The awards include Best of Show in four categories: car,
truck, cycle and tractors.

They also have awards for Kids' Choice, Mayor's Choice, Best
Paint, Best Interior and Best Engine.

There will also be an award for
project cars. They hope this will convince people to bring their vehicles, of
all shapes and sizes, to the show.

"Why have this beautiful automobile hidden in your garage if
you're never going to let anybody see it?" Lang said. "It's really something we
encourage is for people to get them out, bring them out, show them off."

There will also be plenty of things for families and kids to
enjoy.

The Hays High cheerleaders will be doing face painting and a
bounce house. 

The beer garden returns, accompanied by several other food
vendors. That includes barbecue, snow cones, bubble tea and a cigar vendor. 

While the weekend is about the fun of the show and enjoying
the vehicles, for the Thunder on the Plains group, the fundraising and the
lives they affect through the show remain the highlight.

In the nine years leading up to the 2025 show, the group has donated more than $140,000 to local nonprofit organizations.

Last year, the group elected to focus on a larger organization and raised almost $17,000 for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation of Missouri and Kansas.

Once again this year, 100% of the proceeds from the show’s
auction will benefit a wish recipient in Ellis County and the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. The live auction begins at 12:30 p.m.

Lang said last year, three local children who were
waiting for their wishes received them. All three went to Disney World.

There is one Ellis County child who is waiting for a wish
this year, and they are planning to attend the show.

This year, Thunder on the Plains also will continue to provide
scholarships to Ellis County seniors pursuing education in the automotive
industry.

This year, Nikole Orinder and Lillian Wellbrock each received
$1,000.

It was the first time both recipients were female.

Each year, sponsors donate items for the live auction. You
don’t have to have a car registered at the show to bid at the auction.

One of the major auction items this year is a bar crafted by
Rod Roy, a group member. Members also donated their favorite wines and spirits
to help the winner get started stocking their bar.

The late Craig Fischer, a big supporter of the event,
donated most of the materials.

You can find more information about the auction items and
the show on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thunderontheplainsks">Thunder on the Plains Facebook page.</a>

Logan, KS — The Hansen Museum Continuing Education Program is delighted to welcome certified Bob Ross instructor Hope Blakely of Arvada, Colorado, for two Magic of Painting classes on June 21 and 22.

Open to individuals aged 13 and older, these sessions provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere that fosters creativity and camaraderie.

Registration is available online at hansenmuseum.org under the “Classes &amp; Workshops” section. Discounts are offered to Patron and Sustaining Members of the Hansen Museum.
