Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center — Attraction in Wichita

As a lot of you know we travel the U. S. attending and setting up at events. This weekend we are setup as a vendor at The Women's Fair in Wichita, Kansas. This was a last minute trip that came about from a cancelation from another vendor. I had inquired about availability and they had said they were sold out but if someone canceled they would contact me. As luck would have it Thursday of last week I received a text that said load up and head our way. Luca Dawson and I did. We drove from Raytown, Missouri to Wichita, Kansas and did a three day setup in seven hours.

I have been a vendor in Wichita KS for many events for the past thirty years. Everything from Lawn and Garden Shows to Gun Shows. This has to be one of the best attended events we have ever setup at in Wichita, Kansas. The promoters and staff created an awesome shopping environment peppered with special events within their event. It's refreshing to be immersed in a sea of positivity that reflects in the promoters dedication to excellence.

I want to thank everyone who visited and purchased from us yesterday. We had to restock twice. Today we will add some additional items I will post about later. I have posted pictures of some vendors that I think you would enjoy. There are so many I didn't have time to post them all.

The show runs today Sunday April 27th 11am to 5pm at The Century II event center in...

So disappointed in the level of service this long standing wichita establishment offers. Century 2 has been the heart beat of Wichita and the stage for so many wonderful memories for most of my life!

My sister planned an amazing day for all the ladies in our family to go to lunch and then enjoy the nutcracker ballet. However there was a clerical error with the tickets and they claim we purchased tickets for the day before. Because the showings had already passed they said they could not exchange them for tickets for today. So I asked if there were still seats available for today. Even though they couldn't exchange the tickets surely they could comp us tickets since they had some available and we had clearly already paid. That way it was a way around the whole exchange issue. They refused. They just kept saying no. And despite the words sorry coming out of her mouth both women were incredibly rude. They refused to help in any way. Their only offer was for us to pay full price again for tickets for today. As a business owner myself I was apauled at the lack of human decency or empathy! I'm ashamed to claim this business a...
