Smades family joins Wichita County parade and carnival fun
The Smades family gathers for a parade at Wichita County with candy snatching from the streets. A Kansas Highway Patrol vehicle leads the procession followed by horse riders. Cory Stelter and his son Jack collect candy while a pig float shoots money. The nearby Wichita County carnival, started by Ken Breitkreutz in 1981, features 12 rides and keeps a quarter per ride. Residents say the event unites the community and brings pride, with Seon resident Kara Ayers recalling childhood memories on Tilt-A-Whirl.
