It is Christmas in July! We are hosting a donation drive for hygiene items to provide additional support for Laundry Love. Donation boxes at several locations across Harvey County- including Golden Plains Credit Union, Trinity Heights United Methodist Church, First Mennonite Church, Newton, Immanuel Baptist Church, Union State Bank , INTRUST Bank, and both Newton branches of Citizens State Bank.
Drop items by these locations throughout the month of July, or come see us at Sunshine Laundry to get your laundry cleaned.
Just as you would pull an Angel off an Angel Tree at Christmastime, grab a coconut from the palm tree and help ensure dignity for all persons in our community!

The old First Street water tank is coming down! The 3.8 million-gallon tank, which was built in 1939, was severely deteriorated and had to be replaced. A new 1.9 million-gallon tank was constructed just south along the creek and brought into service earlier this year. Once the old tank is gone, work will begin to construct a second new 1.9 million-gallon tank on the site.

The 3rd U.S. Adaptive Open begins next week at Sand Creek Station Golf Course! It's such an honor to host this United States Golf Association - USGA championship for golfers with disabilities.

Farm Bureau is joining us on Monday and Tuesday for SEAK-- we are never sure what shenanigans they are getting into, but we hear it will involve chickens :)
SEAK is a summer lunch program, geared toward anyone ages 1-18, designed to build community connections, and put more meals into the hands of kids, no matter the demographic. We hope YOU can join this week! The more the merrier!

Those coming to shop at the Bakery tomorrow are going to get a nice surprise! Thanks Newton Murals and Arts Project for making our little city a more beautiful place!

Sand Creek Station Golf Course will be busy this week with the 3rd U.S. Adaptive Open Championship. Head on out to the golf course to watch the tournament (free to spectators) and cheer on those playing.

Visited the town of Inman, Ks yesterday to see their new grain elevator mural project. Spectacular art work by Mindy Allen of Mindy’s Murals. We need to get her to come visit our new Library and see what she might envision for our elevator!! Bring another mural to Newton, Ks! It would be a huge project but we could make it happen!!

What an incredible accompilishment for the city of Inman. MIndy Allen is such an amazing artist and her duagher, Haley, has been assisting her with this huge project.

This was yesterday’s progress. I always get so excited to start a new piece of the mural and I was really looking forward to starting on the wheat! I can’t wait to get back to it!
