Get out of the cold and get inside the Carnegie Cultural Center to warm up! This center has so many great exhibits featuring local artists. Not only paintings and drawings, but pottery and other art as well. So, if you are looking for something to do on a cold day or evening, get down to the Carnegie Cultural Center at 5th and Main for some great exhibits.

A teen park, what a great concept that has finally come to light in Ottawa. This is an exciting time for the youth of Ottawa as they now have a place to go play basketball and use the skate ramps! This park will give the local youth a place to hang out and spend time with friends. This is also a great addition to the community because it not only provides something fun to do, but it shows that the city cares and wants the youth of Ottawa to have a safe and fun place to hang out and even get some exercise. The park is off of 15th street to the south, directly across from another park in town, Kanza Park. I know that I will be taking my kids to this great park for some fun time, we might just wait until it warms back up a little bit!

One of my favorite memories of the holiday season while growing up in Ottawa, was the Christmas Parade. The smiling faces, the cups of hot chocolate and the loud horn of the fire truck. These are the sights and sounds that come to my mind when I think of the annual Christmas Parade.

I was always excited yet nervous when the fire trucks would go by. How cool is that big red fire truck I would say and then just about that time, the loud horn would honk. The local bands that march and play their music brought joy and smiles to the crowd. The end of the parade is always special, as Santa Claus would make his appearance. At the end of the parade, a walk down Main Street and stopping for lunch at one of the local eateries was a great end to a great time in downtown Ottawa!

I absolutely love attending the annual Toy Run for kids in Ottawa. This event brings bikers and community together to collect toys for the less fortunate this Holiday season. Bikers line the main street and spectators watch as the toys and bikers cruise up Main Street. This is an event I look forward to every year. Let's get out there and support the kids in our community!

Join us at the annual Christmas Parade on December 10th, at 1:00 pm in downtown Ottawa!
If this is your first time attending or if you attend every year, we look forward to seeing you at the parade. The parade begins at Forest Park. Hope to see you there!

Be sure to join us June 18th for the Annual Swan Arts Festival, held at the City Park. Enjoy free admission, art and craft vendors, live music and more! A great family event. See you there!

In the center of downtown Ottawa, is this architectural wonder in Kansas. Designed and built in 1893 by renowned architect George Washburn, our courthouse is recognized as the most outstanding of the 15 Kansas courthouses he designed. From the Kansas limestone to the Ottawa brick, this structure is beautiful from every angle.
