Country music Icon, Hank Williams Jr., is set to embark on a multi-city tour throughout the country, including an appearance at INTRUST Bank Arena Saturday, May 19. This is Williams’ first concert in Wichita in nearly 25 years.

Williams, who has 20 gold albums, six platinum albums, 13 chart-topping albums, and ten number one singles, will perform hits like “A Country Boy Can Survive,” “Dixie on My Mind,” and “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight.”

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson will join Williams for the Wichita show.

A string of sold out shows in the U.S. and Canada have led to the return of everyone’s favorite lovable and wacky handyman – Red Green!

Following a highly successful 39-city tour in Canada, our man in flannel and suspenders will return to the U.S. this spring with his Wit & Wisdom Tour.

The best selling author, humorist and handyman who believes ‘anything is possible if you use enough duct tape’, has been entertaining audiences for the past 20 years with his popular PBS Television series, “The Red Green Show.”

The champion of underachieving men everywhere, Red Green (aka Steve Smith) will offer homespun wisdom (“Lower your expectations and live a happier life.”) philosophies on relationships (“Women always have the last word in an argument.

Anything after that is just the beginning of the next argument”) and of course handyman tips (Never get in between electricity and where it wants to go”). It’s a one-man show and a rare opportunity to attend a famous Possum Lodge meeting. Red Green’s Wit & Wisdom Tour – Circle the date and ‘keep your stick on the ice.”

In celebration of bike month, the Wichita Downtown Development Corp. has again organized the I Bike Douglas Rides. Three themed tours will be offered on May 19th, each lasting approximately 45 minutes.

The Architectural Ride departs at 1 p.m. from WDDC’s office at 507 E. Douglas. This tour will take an in depth look at some of the architectural treasures strewn along Douglas.

Come prepared to learn some fascinating facts about Wichita’s architectural gems.

The Heroes Ride will depart from in front of the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview, 400 W. Douglas at 2 p.m. This ride in honor of Armed Services Day will feature stops at various sculptures and memorials throughout the core area dedicated to heroes. We’ll visit the Keeper of the Plains, the beloved Indian Warrior that watches over Wichita, and Veteran Memorial Park, the serene little park located along the Arkansas River that houses numerous monuments. The tour will also include stops by the Old County Courthouse’s Soldiers & Sailors Monument and the Law Enforcement Memorial by local artist Connie Ernatt at City Hall.

The Victorian Ride will depart at 3 p.m. from Sedgwick-County Historical Museum, 204 S. Main, and will focus on the elaborate and ornate structures that stand as graceful reminders of Wichita’s past including the Historical Museum and its stately neighbor, the recently renovated Carnegie Library. The day will end with tours inside two Victorian homes, including one of Wichita’s most historic, the Schnitzler Mansion at Gilbert and South Broadway.

These rides are designed to be leisurely and all ages are welcome. Cameras are allowed and encouraged, as there will be ample opportunity to capture some unique and memorable photographs. All rides are free, but donations are appreciated. Mark your calendar for the morning of June 23rd, when I Bike Douglas will offer a new round of tours during the cooler morning hours.
