If you like good food, good music and aren't afraid to laugh in public then don't miss tonight's Loft Talk Show live at The Coffee Loft in downtown Garnett. Special guest, singer/songwriter, Travis Marvin will be joined by Cornstock organizer Susan Wettstein. Get a taste of Travis' unique country music stylings before the big show next month.
This is a "can't miss" show with Tom Emerson, Past President and Treasurer of The Chamber Players Communitee Theatre, gracing the stage as well. Tom will be discussing the rich history of the CPCT troop as well as up coming shows at the local theater. Tom is a communitee leader and talented actor. It will be well worth the price of admission.
P.S. I did I mention this show, as always, is FREE? |

The Anderson County Fair is really multiple weeks full of exciting events. Even though those events have already been underway for a few weeks I always look to the Parade as the soul of the county fair. Come join us for great time and catch a renewed sense of civic pride. The parade starts at 7pm but come early for good parking as the place is always packed. |

Local comedian, John Wilson, will be performing at The Coffee Loft tonight beginning at 6:30pm. Garnett Live! will be there with a live broadcast of the entire performance. However, you will want to come downtown for this one. There is live music on the square (it has already started) all evening along with multiple food vendors. With over 900 guests in town as part of the Bike Across Kansas it is sure to be a glorious crowd (translate: come early for if you want a seat). As always at The Loft, there is zero charge for admission and the entertainment on the square is also open to the public so you have no excuse to miss this event. |
