Several City staff members volunteered at the Reality U activity sponsored by USD 331 today. This activity gives students a chance to see how life would be for them financially based upon choices they make. It was an insightful event to get a taste of reality.

KPP Energy and the City of Kingman have been partners for many years. As the energy sector becomes more complex and demanding, having 23 other Kansas community partners in KPP Energy helps Kingman's electric utility face those ever-changing challenges from a position of strength. The benefits of KPP Energy membership are vast, but for us the Kingman Transmission Project has been one of the largest benefits to date. The Kingman Transmission Project, energized in 2022, was the culmination of 12 years of hard work and legal interventions by KPP Energy and local staff. The new transmission line and 115 kV substation allows Kingman to import its full electric load for the first time in the city’s history. All 24 KPP Energy members join together to pay for this historical project for Kingman. As we reflect on the benefits of public power, we thank KPP Energy staff and our fellow members for the progress made and look forward to continued successes moving forward. KPP Energy

We would like to thank everyone that made Cessna Fest a huge success this past weekend! Kingman was filled with visitors and events all day and night. It was great to show everyone what a great community we have here.

Special thanks must go to the City's Park Board. They spent countless hours planning this event, and it shows! Their dedication to Kingman is special to see. So we want to recognize the Park Board for all their work: Chairman Dakota Fischer, Vice Chair Kylee Maloney, Secretary Lexi Fischer, and members Laura Lankford, Mady Boswell, Blythe Swayze, and City Commissioner Adrian Harrel - we appreciate all you have done for Kingman to make it a Great Place to Land!

Mother Nature did not cooperate this year for Rotary Club to have its annual duck race in the river. Cessna Fest was the last chance for this year, but the river was again too high for safety. So, the club got creative and made their own river on Sherman Street with the help of the Kingman Fire Department!

Kingman Fire Department is on hand to help create the "river" for the annual duck race on Sherman Street.
