There may not have been a parade, but Ellinwood residents found ways to celebrate this past weekend with the 47th annual After Harvest Festival. There were concerts and comedy, contests and collections of memorabilia Thursday through Saturday. Events included the “Through the Years” display at the School/Community Library. The Museum of Ellinwood had a dairy exhibit, country kitchen exhibit, “Children’s Toys Through the Ages” and a Boys Scout-Girls Scout exhibit. The Historic Wolf Hotel brought in an adult comedy show and concerts. There was also a free concert at the American Legion Post 320 and the Kansas Sidewinders Motorcycle Club held an open house/beer garden. Naturally, there were multiple options to sample local food.
