Restoration of the historic Joyland carousel has been completed at its new home in Botanica. The carousel was a popular ride at Joyland Amusement Park, whose owners donated it to Botanica in 2014. 

Artist Marlene Irvin restored each of the 36 horses, and the remaining mechanics and chariots were restored or replaced. The Khicha Family Carousel is housed in a 9,000-square-foot pavilion west of the Downing Children’s Garden. 

The Wichita Wind Surge, Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, leads off its 70-home game season with opener April 14 against the Memphis Redbirds, affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Post-game fireworks are scheduled for opening night as well as July 4 and every Friday night game. 

Games will be played at a new $75 million stadium along the Arkansas River on land formerly occupied by Lawrence Dumont Stadium.
