Organizers of an event to mark the sesquicentennial of Hutchinson’s founding are planning a mile-long block party. Actually, they are hoping for a dozen individual block parties, but all on Main Street during the same time, extending the mile from Avenue C north to Ninth Avenue. “I’m very excited about it,” said Hutchinson Mayor Jade Piros de Carvalho. “I convened this little committee to start thinking about a community-wide celebration in August, and we started brainstorming what it would look like.” … The Aug. 18th anniversary date falls on a Third Thursday, so organizers of the event are hoping to draw a large crowd as they historically have with the annual back-to-school and “dog days of summer” events, Conkling said.
