Autumn & Art

Please welcome our new Director of Sales and Development: Shannon Reed.

She's worked as an academic advisor, grant writer, historic preservation planner and walk manager for two nonprofits. She also served as Executive Director for Camp Quality and spent time as an Account Executive with McClatchy and Hibu.

Today, she brings all of that experience to Wichita Festivals as our Director of Sales and Development, and she couldn't be happier to be here!

As she puts it, "I'm entering the phase in my life where I love where I am."

Please welcome her to the Wichita Festivals team.

Are you ready for a fun-filled day? Come join the Wichita Festivals Inc. crew as we dress up and cook up some amazing chili this Saturday! Hosted by The Wagonmasters, it's sure to be a fantastic time. The party kicks off at 10am, tasting kits will be ready at 11am, and chili-eating fun starts at noon - we can't wait to see you there! Bring your friends and appetite! We'd love for you to join us!

Last year, we were the Ozsome crew. You'll have to come visit us this year to see! The Good Life in Wichita by the Wichita Wagonmasters
