Please join us on Sunday, September 17 at 2 p.m. for our annual Concert in the Park. We will enjoy the musical stylings of the Kings of Swing. The 15-piece Topeka band specializes in swing music of the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, recreating the sounds of many of the notable Big Bands of the Swing Era, such as: Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Les Brown, Benny Goodman, and many others. 

We are also thrilled to welcome back the musical stylings of the Topeka High School Drumline!

The bands play in the natural amphitheater created by the open space northeast of the Reflection Pond. Admission is free and we will have a food vendor on hand if you work up an appetite. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are welcome and handicapped parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The concert is a great opportunity to listen to some fine music in a beautiful, park-like atmosphere. Don't forget to check out the dance floor and show off your dancing skills. We hope to see you at the show for another round of great music!

Our pets become cherished members of our families, providing unconditional love, companionship, and joy to our lives. When they pass away, the grief we feel is genuine and profound. While our furry friends are only here for a short time, the impact they have on our lives is monumental. Here are some ways you can honor your beloved furry friend, after they’ve pass. Create a memory box. Putting together a box of items that remind you of a beloved pet can help you cope with their loss. Include items such as their collar, favorite toy, paw imprint, fur lock, and anything else that meant a lot to them. Keeping these items can bring comfort and closure after they have passed. Spread their ashes somewhere meaningful. If you choose to have your pet cremated, you can spread the ashes somewhere meaningful for your pet. You can even use the ashes to plant a tree in memory of them. Donate to shelters in their memory Animal shelters need donations, whether monetary donations or item donations. Donating to shelters in your beloved pet's name not only preserves your pet's memory, but also helps the animals in the shelter find their forever home. Foster animals Fostering is a great option if you aren't ready to get another pet but want to share the love you had for your pet with those in need. Because shelters fill up quickly, animals need foster homes. Fostering allows you to heal at your own pace, while sharing love with a pet in need. Our pets become part of our family. During their time here on earth we share so many special moments with them, that when they are gone the emptiness left behind is unfathomable. It’s important to take proper care of yourself during this time of grief and figure out ways to keep your pet’s memory alive.
