Archway Summerfest kicks off with family fun


KEARNEY, Neb. (KSNB) – The Archway held its second annual Summerfest Saturday.

There were bounce houses, laser tag, henna tattoos, a trackless train, a giant slide, a food truck and more.

JoAnne Hoatson, Archway’s executive director, said it’s important to get the community out.

“Last year we had 400 people show up, we thought that was good for our first year. This year we expect to double that because we’ve doubled the size, at least doubled the size of our offerings,” Hoatson said.

Hoatson also mentioned that she wanted this to become a signature summer event before the school year started.

Archway isn’t just a tourist attraction, but Hoatson said she wanted this event to show people that Archway is part of their community, too.
