Let the Festivities commence with a midsummer evening in Old Towne. Unwind with old friends on the patio and wet your appetite for a taste of Lou's Place at it's best.  Enjoy a perfect blend of old world flavors; perfectly cured rare meats, savory olives, and delectable gourmet cheeses paired with fine wine, spirits or draft beer, but save room for smoked and grilled entrees and locally sourced veggies served fresh off the grill. Get lost in conversation that's been years in the making, or sit back and enjoy a live music performance by  three gifted Wichita musicians. This is an occasion to celebrate, so come at your best - be it fancy or casual. Let's make this a remarkable night where old friendships are renewed, new friendships are born, every person is valued, and we leave with nothing but goodness in our hearts, marveling at how amazing we all are.
