Summertime is typically a time of year when people like to get away from home for a while with a vacation trip to somewhere, but with many family incomes limited due to inflation and other issues, many are opting to stay home for the summer.
For those making this choice in Liberal and the surrounding area, there are more than a few fun things to do locally, and no matter what they choose to do, eating is a constant need.

On the evening of July 6, the Liberal Police Department responded to an accident involving a juvenile operating a scooter and a motor vehicle.
“While we do not share this information to cause alarm, the incident serves as an important reminder of the need for increased safety and awareness – especially during the summer months when children are more frequently outside and active throughout our neighborhoods,” Liberal Police Chief Chet Pinkston said. “The Liberal Police Department shares incidents like this not to assign blame or discourage outdoor activity, but to highlight the importance of traffic safety for all – motorists and young riders alike. Our goal is not to prevent children from being kids, but to help ensure they can enjoy their time safely.”
