Each year, the Kell House Museum Fourth of July Celebration has grown. Organizers want your group to be a part of the festivities this year.
The early-morning patriotic parade will end at the Kell House, where the celebration continues with a carnival from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Participating organizations can sign up to operate one game or entertainment booth. Group are required to bring the game/entertainment supplies, set up the booth, provide game prizes, determine the number of tickets necessary to play (tickets are 50 cents), man the booth and break down the booth and clean up after the event is over.
Tickets will be tallied at the close of festivities and each group will receive 80 percent of the money it brings in.
Registration forms are available online at wichita-heritage.org. For more information, call Stacie Flood at 723-6592.
