SPONSORED BY FLYING PIG IMPROV
Improv is the act of making up scenes and games as they are happening.
At Flying Pig Improv, they teach you how to do just that!
Whether you are yearning to scratch a creative itch, do something risky and exciting, or simply laugh with other people, improv classes are a great way to take one baby step out of your comfort zone.
Try a Drop-in class! THIS Saturday (5/1) at 11 a.m. Your first one is FREE!
FLIGHTS
One year difference
Last year on 4/25 only 63 people flew out of Wichita which was the lowest number of the whole pandemic. Now the average is up to 1472 per day for April.
WEATHER
This year is said to have the potential to be a bad year for tornados.
Although it is fun to go outside and watch these powerful storms rather than hide in your basement, it’s important to look back and see the devastation they can cause.
30 years ago today, a tornado hit Andover. It killed 17 people and caused millions of dollars worth of damage.
BUSINESS
Founder and CEO of Flint Hills Group, Dave Cunningham is helping kick start even more entrepreneurs here in Wichita.
Campfire is a 12-week program starting May 6 at Groover Labs. The cost is just $250 and the first cohort will only take 20 people.
If you have a great idea, now is the time to make it happen!
