The Hutchinson Youth City Council is hosting a meet and greet this weekend.
It’s more than just a hi and bye event, though.
Community members will have the opportunity to genuinely engage with the youth council on Saturday at George Pyle Park from 1-4 p.m.
Youth City Council Advisory Board member Esmeralda Tovar-Mora said community members will get to hear about ongoing projects the youth council is working on and provide input for future initiatives. Hot dogs, chips and drinks will also be provided at the event.
“It’s not just like a quick meet and greet like ‘Hey, I’m going to get food, let’s go’ because we know that food brings people together,” Tovar-Mora said. “It’s also to foster that community engagement, but also underscores their mission to bridge that gap between the young people, the young residents, the youth and local governance. And so by participating, the people that attend this can contribute to this collaborative effort into shaping a more proactive Hutchinson just because the youth city council is an initiative that engages our local students here in Reno County in civic leadership and community service.”
Tovar-Mora also said that engaging middle and high school students gives them a platform.
“This essentially gives them a platform so that they can use their perspectives and their voice and develop those leadership skills to actively participate in governance and ask those hard questions,” Tovar-Mora said.
The Hutchinson Youth City Council is composed of five members. They meet on the fourth Thursday of every month at City Hall, located at 125 East Avenue B, at 6 p.m.
“They have a great group going this year,” Tovar-Mora said. “Especially being able to have support from a previous president, it’s just been able to be like full circle that the youth have that intentional mindset to be able to seek out our youth in our community regarding issues that maybe they could have like an input for.”
The youth council members are President Kayelyn Wellington, Vice President Katilynn Holtz, Activities Director Maddlynn Mosley, Treasurer Alaina LaMunyon and Secretary Maggie Mosley.

Hutchinson Community Concerts wrapped up its current season Monday night with five Chicago-area musicians called Alliance Brass. Up front, I confess to not being a huge brass enthusiast. Still, there was a sizeable number in the audience who gave the two women and three men appropriate applause and appreciation for their significant talents.
Along with their trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba skills, the artists provided informative and interesting background on their selections, a big plus for the audience, as their narration added significantly to their music.
Attendance was down sizeably from last week’s Beach Boys tribute, again showing that even if the city council brings about destruction of Memorial Hall, which currently stands as a strong possibility, most C.C. crowds will fit nicely, although perhaps less comfortably, into seating at the Fox Theatre.
Patrons were told that regardless of how the halls’ future is determined, Community Concerts has booked Memorial Hall for next season (which begins this September), and shows over Cow Creek will continue for at least another year.
With that in mind, there’s still time to buy next season’s bargain six concert tickets for $60, or entire families can enjoy the entertainment for $130. Although you’ve probably never heard of the entertainers by name, Community Concerts has a long history of presenting good, sometimes outstanding, shows for an amazing low price. No individual show tickets are sold.
As this season closed out with a flare of classical brass, the next one opens with a quintet of Mexican Brass. It will be followed in 2026 by Divas of Soul, Celtic Celebration, a pianist, the blending of music, humor, and Western history, and more modern selections from the mid-’60s and ’70s called “Live from Laurel Canyon.”
