A little horn-tooting today: Kansas Living Magazine shared the story of Linger Gig Lab, our YouEs and the old-fashioned soda fountain that’s helping build future leaders in Gray County. We’re grateful for the chance to share how this historic space is becoming a launchpad for youth, entrepreneurs and community connection.

The Linger mural is a success! Jade did an amazing job. HUGE thank you to all of our donors - we were able to cover all $2,237.25 for the lift 🎉This was made possible through a $7,424 grant from the State of Kansas Office of Rural Prosperity

A fun piece of Cimarron history: on June 2, 2006, our soda fountain was featured on national TV during a segment connected to Oprah and Gayle’s road trip. Full 1 minute clip can be found on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bBhv_KYmpM4

Today is Ivan's last day. Many of you may not know that Linger launched a Vending Program thanks to Blattner Feedlot Construction; Ivan & Tony have been operating this venture since January. Ivan also works at the soda fountain and launched his Flowberry Fizz on April 6 and has sold 41 so far. Great job, Ivan!
