Flinthills Mall was one hoppin’ place for two big events Saturday.
The mall had its springtime Food Truck Rally, and the main parking lot was full of food trucks and residents waiting to sample their wares. Mall manager Clarence Frye was impressed.
Ten vendors participated, bringing a range of food options like barbecue, Italian, Mexican, hamburgers, snacks and drinks.
Meanwhile, several local pet rescue operations came together at Flinthills Mall for a special adoption event that overlapped the Food Truck Rally on Saturday.
Adoptathon took place at Petsense, bringing together the Humane Society of the Flint Hills, FEAS, Forever Home Pet Rescue, Fur Ever Friends Pet Learning and Adoption Center and Purralot Kitty Rescue. Purralot spokesperson Amanda Barnett says it was a great event, both for the adoption opportunities and the chance to reach out to children.
In all, the process started for five pet adoptions during the event.
