(KAIR)--Atchison's annual Amelia Earhart Festival-from Friday night's Music at the Riverfront kickoff, with headliner Diamond Rio, to Saturday night's “Concert in the Sky” Fireworks show-is in the books for another successful year, following this past weekend's celebration.
Now, the Atchison area prepares for the city's next major event: All Aboard Atchison Match Day, set for next month.
According to a release from the Atchison Community Foundation, the event will be held Friday, August 23, through Sunday, August 25, during which time all donations made through the foundation, at the in-person match day happy hour, online at AllAboardAtchison.com, or by mail, will be matched at 60%. That includes every donation between $25 and $8,333, “up to $5,000 in matching funds per participating organization until the $125,000 in matching funds are completely distributed.”
The happy hour donation opportunity will be Friday, August 23, from 4 to 7:00, at the Atchison Event Center.
Mailed in donations can be sent to P.O. Box 387, Atchison, KS 66002.
