Weekly Meeting of the Hutchinson Ambucs: Tom Hymer, editor
Guests: Dayna Lange, therapist at the Early Education Center.
Sergeants on duty: John Knipp and his favorite toilet carrier Randy Hendrickson concocted a weird story about beer cans discarded in some lake in MO. It seems that only 1 can out of 4 was a Budweiser product,and they concluded the ratio should have been greater. Therefore they collected begrudging money from Bob Bush. Then they fined Pam Brooks forher husband’s dog business.Because the sergeants seemed to have limited material they decided to do a pin check and get out of Dodge.
The RoundTuit:DanPower has the Tuit and he wasabsent for today’s meeting. He’s probably cooking up an extensive report of negligent Ambucs for his next meeting appearance, fair warning.
Club Announcements: Pam Brooks asked if anyone had a little Round Tuit from last week’s meeting. The answer, nobody. OK pilgrims, the little Round Tuits are to be a reminder to invite guests to our club in order to grow the membership.
The Big Hats are planning a social during the month of August at the Knights of Columbus Hall. No date is available at this time, although it is promised.

Program: Jim Seitnater presented today’s program on the upcoming city-wide event of Hutch Fest. Hutch Fest is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary with events beginning June 26th and ending July 4th. Hutch Fest was born out of two other events known as Prairie Fest and the Main Street Event. After 6 years these two events were combined to form Hutch Fest. Events are staged at different venues around Hutchinson, including Downtown, Avenue A Park, Carey Park, and the Kansas State Fairgrounds. A person really needs to get a Schedule of Events and go to the ones of interest. Two major events occur on Saturday July 4th. The Patriots Parade begins at 10:00am on Main Street from Avenue B to 12th Avenue. The Fireworks Extravaganza begins at 8:00pm to 10:00pm at the Grandstand at the Kansas State Fair. Hutch Fest obtains part of it’s funding from the sale of Hutch Fest Buttons which sell for $4 and can be purchased at Dillons and Kwik Shop Stores. Thanks to Jim for an interesting and informative program. For more information go to www.hutchfest.com .
Drawings: Tom Hymer won the 50/50 pot of $20. John Knipp could not answer the newsletter question. The newsletter question for next week is: “20 years ago Hutch Fest was formed out of two other events, what were these two events?”
