Council members described hosting a talent show and a cake walk and said the event featured new performances such as hula and drums. “Juneteenth was so fun,” a Youth City Council member said. Members named vendors who appeared at the event, including Burger Depot, Kona Ice and Salt City Scoops.

The council said an art show that was promoted at Juneteenth will award $250 for first place, $100 for second and $50 for third; organizers asked interested artists to contact the Hutchinson Youth City Council via its Facebook or Instagram page to sign up.

Members also announced a free cooking class hosted by the NAACP youth at Living Hope Freeway Baptist Church at 5:30 p.m. on the day after the meeting, and they described an ongoing urban garden program run by the NAACP youth for ages 6 and up that meets Saturdays from about 10:10 to 11 a.m. and Tuesdays from 2 to 3 p.m.

Several members thanked community donors who assisted with a personal fundraiser; one member said she raised $103 for a cheer program and thanked everyone who contributed. Council members also encouraged safety over the upcoming Fourth of July weekend, reminding residents to watch for fire hazards and wear shoes around fireworks.

Council members presented these items as reports and community announcements; no formal city or council votes were taken on the events described.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hutchinson, KS, Youth Council Meeting- 06/26/2025 ","oneSentenceSummary","Council members praised Juneteenth events including a talent show and cake walk, named vendor participants, announced an art show with cash prizes and provided signup instructions, and promoted upcoming NAACP cooking classes and an urban garden for youth.","taxTitle","Hutchinson City, Reno County, Kansas","taxId",52857,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163665,"Youth City Council members report clothing and possible drug paraphernalia during Cow Creek cleanup",238,700000,938000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433590-819a525f0594580d08dd363344c6a1e5&start=700&end=938","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433590-819a525f0594580d08dd363344c6a1e5/thumbnail_700000.jpg","/articles/6163665/Hutchinson-City/Reno-County/Kansas/Youth-City-Council-members-report-clothing-and-possible-drug-paraphernalia-during-Cow-Creek-cleanup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163665-b12d299c39c4a6612cc30cf415ab0ca5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192373&Signature=XUu~-0YQUu7GKtriFIHuOA~SJ81BWtRWW2ay~nE2qeToxQsxA71OfeT~yn5mLVPYh17xbmcBx6ZrPDImsjKrrxZ43hvvUT8P5EzgQjfPe5e6Tf5cYxbBSJ2jyzphKkRZuKCNk-QPTocVKYewsFQhT~3RxRqMxD6Dqui4Fne7yYUCuvbfyuK5KZEwAqTXYzRCeFiUBNjCyqo78nSjrDpmrcEbf~MWy4ASCntzrZq65o-7m~s1u7X9XSHjEM2-d3ccOscaL2cFIvQGWHb-TlimBXqqAk6afU8DqO5IyY3SJwxzITBQJ0nCUIOVkHHKRLcZFANP5w5y3F0FoYaCs5aL4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Youth City Council members on June 26 reported that their recent Cow Creek cleanup uncovered clothing, trash and what one participant described as an unlabeled bottle of pills at a site that appeared to have been occupied.

Several council members described the cleanup as “gross” but said it was valuable community service. “It was kind of sad to see, like, the conditions that someone could have been living in,” a Youth City Council member said, describing blankets, clothing and food packages found near the creek.

One participant, identified only by the first name Adam in the meeting, took photographs that showed an unlabeled bottle of pills, the council said. “I found an unlabeled bottle of pills. And we didn't know what they were but that was very concerning,” a Youth City Council member said.

Council members said they recovered two bags of clothing during the cleanup and suggested that people bring usable clothing to the on‑house donation drive rather than discarding it into the creek. “Instead of throwing your clothes in the Cow Creek this year, let's bring them to the house drive,” a member said.

Participants said the cleanup route began behind the Wisdom in Motion office and proceeded across the street down to the creek; volunteers used grabbers to collect sticks, cans and larger items including a single large shoe.

Members expressed interest in repeating the cleanup annually. No formal city action or ordinance change was proposed during the discussion; the exchange was a report from youth council members about a volunteer activity.","Council members who took part in a Cow Creek cleanup described finding clothing, trash and an unlabeled bottle of pills at a site that appeared to be used for shelter; members said they hope to continue the cleanup annually and encouraged donating clothes to the drive rather than discarding them in the creek.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163670,"Hutchinson Youth City Council urges donations for June 27 drive to help unhoused residents",776,472000,1248000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433590-819a525f0594580d08dd363344c6a1e5&start=472&end=1248","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433590-819a525f0594580d08dd363344c6a1e5/thumbnail_472000.jpg","/articles/6163670/Hutchinson-City/Reno-County/Kansas/Hutchinson-Youth-City-Council-urges-donations-for-June-27-drive-to-help-unhoused-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163670-d9574ad27df081747cf9de7df0dc3c5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192373&Signature=iK2MLw573uXgbAdkiMy2xwOQHeKO8VIVmriLVF80pFVxMXipmsUqLzWI8tyW8iRRHYjQKVgucYWU6uzGmqHbkjoFgvZ1A--txm~X5r5vpuDYHMwFIb-Ea7NOmBXIRtePPKcIEHP7iR41gdAdyHiancpmeBiR9ZaLow4cNkxsMwFC2obJAlot~lQ460uHd-8FZw1pkoUWpJoUIrrhjc~vj0GIYeJHsU1xmqeZMZ45wI4aqWHNHCFRhLCB0xXekAfV10cQUNuezltVL99yITfD9Pm35es9kEgPwyg6XrTOhiRjxi4RqQOiCWI0YHrvLpjyq-QmC0kDiZoOJQX7I~Z1kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Youth City Council on June 26 urged community donations for an “on house” drive planned for June 27 at Avenue A Park, asking for hygiene items, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing to be given to local service providers.

The drive is scheduled for June 27, organizers said; council members described the drop-off window as about 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. and asked donors to bring new, unopened items. “Anything that you wanna donate, will be appreciated,” a Youth City Council member said during the meeting.

The council said donations will be distributed to New Beginnings and Lighthouse, two local organizations that assist people experiencing homelessness. Council members listed suggested items including sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and clothing such as shorts, T-shirts and long sleeves for sun protection. “Make sure that the items you donate are unused or unopened,” a Youth City Council member said.

One member identified only as KK said the council would enter donors in a raffle: “For every 5 items that a person brings, their name will be put for a raffle to some small businesses here around Hutch.”

Council members gave two different addresses for the Avenue A Park location during the meeting; one speaker said “101 South Main Street” while a subsequent speaker listed “1101 South Main Street.” The address listed on the council’s social media page should be consulted before going, the panel said.

Organizers asked volunteers and those who cannot attend to share the event information on social media. The announcement also included a reminder to wash donated clothing before dropping it off if items are used; otherwise, donors were asked to provide new items only.

The drive is part of the council’s summer outreach efforts. No formal vote or City Council action was taken; the item was presented as an event announcement and request for community participation.","At its June 26 meeting the Hutchinson Youth City Council announced a donation drive for unhoused residents scheduled for June 27 at Avenue A Park, asking for new hygiene items, sunscreen and weather-appropriate clothing; donations will go to New Beginnings and Lighthouse and donors are eligible for a raffle.","actionData","errors"]
