Another weekend of summer fun is in store for the Emporia area. Funnel cakes, s’mores and plenty of dancing and dizzying rides should keep people happy and full this weekend. Get out and enjoy the fun!

This weekend is your last weekend to make it to the Lyon County Fair . Friday and Saturday evening the carnival will be up and running. Grab a funnel cake and ride the rides until you're dizzy. At 6 p.m. Saturday evening, the demolition derby will finish out the fair activities for 2025.

Saturday, head over to Chase County and attend the Tallgrass Artist Residency Workshop . It is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Bill McBride's studio along K-177 just north of Matfield Green. Aimee Inglis will be leading a participatory writing workshop for all levels.
