“These opportunities are going to not only be great for folks who are looking for some work, but particularly for folks who want to take this time to be a part of something,” said Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple.

“This was the dream and vision of Lou Schwechheimer. We just can’t wait to hear his favorite two words in the world, ‘play ball,’ on May 11,” said Forma. “We’re looking forward to it. it’s going to be a great year.”
