Check out a story in Thursday’s WichiTalk about one Wichita woman who is the matriarch of a five-generation family. (The 99-year-old woman welcomed a great-great-grandson three weeks ago.)
In 2001, four generations of my husband’s family celebrated our marriage with us, including his great-grandmother. What a wonderful experience it was for me, considering that none of my natural grandparents lived to see my wedding.
Does your family have multiple generations living?
The Wichita River Festival kicks of Friday with an opening concert featuring pop singer Colbie Caillat. Throughout the years, I’ve made some very cool Riverfest memories. Among them: holding hands and strolling downtown with my high school boyfriend (who later became my husband), running in the River Run with my dad and treating my younger sisters to carnival rides during a weekend break home from college. I’ve also witnessed others’ memorable moments, including a marriage proposal. (She said yes!)
What’s your most exciting Riverfest memory? Maybe it was dancing onstage at an open-air concert, tasting your first ear of roasted corn or sailing down the Arkansas in your very own bathtub.
