Planning for the future with land purchase
On March 15 during a meeting of the Cowley Board of Trustees, the Board decided to purchase a plot of land at 1601 S. A Street in Arkansas City.
The purchase cost Cowley College a base price of $8,000, according to the minutes from the meeting.
“We have actually bought it in pieces over the last 6 or 8 months,” said Tony Crouch, the vice president of business services. The land that was purchased is next to two other areas of land Cowley purchased in an earlier agreement.
The land is located close to the baseball and track fields, and it could be used for many purposes.
“Long term we have talked about having another indoor practice facility for baseball, softball, and track,” said Crouch. “There are some things in play on that, but there is not anything that’s concrete or eminent.”

Striking out is a good thing when Bowling for Kids Sake
Bowling is a fun leisure activity that can bring friends and families together but it can also be the easiest way to earn money for children who are in need of guidance and friendship.
The 16th annual Community Bowl for Kids Sake was held March 7 at the Hillcrest Bowling Lanes in Arkansas City. They had two sessions in order to accommodate everyone.
The 16th annual College Bowl for Kids Sake was held March 11. The Community Bowl brought 240 people together and the College Bowl brought 45 people together.
“This year was very successful. I think it said a lot about our community coming together as a whole. We really had a great turnout for both fund-raisers. There were no rivalries between both Cowley County towns, just a unanimous goal to improve the lives of children who are in need. Despite the economic issue we managed to raise a large sum of money,” said Debi Clark, Program Director.
