Harvest for Kids Casino Night Set for Saturday in Colby

Set up began today for the Harvest for Kids Casino Night

A night of fun, food, friendly competition, and community support is coming to Colby this weekend as the Western Kansas Child Advocacy Center hosts its annual Harvest for Kids Casino Night on Saturday, May 30, at the City Limits Convention Center.

The evening serves as a fundraiser for the organization and gives attendees the opportunity to enjoy casino-style gaming while helping support children and families across western Kansas.

Doors open at 5:00 p.m., with a supper buffet beginning at 5:30 p.m. A live auction is scheduled for 6:15 p.m., followed by casino gaming from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Tickets are $50 per person and include access to an evening packed with entertainment. Guests can try their hand at popular casino games including Blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em, Craps, and Roulette. No experience is necessary, making the event a great opportunity for first-time players to learn the games while having fun with friends and family.

Adding to the excitement, NWKS Radio's own Joel Navarro will serve as emcee for the evening.

While the games and prizes make for a memorable night, the real winner is the mission behind the fundraiser.

The Western Kansas Child Advocacy Center works to help children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or other traumatic situations. The center provides a safe and child-friendly environment where specially trained professionals can conduct interviews, coordinate investigations, and connect children and families with advocacy, counseling, and support services.

By bringing law enforcement, child welfare agencies, medical professionals, prosecutors, and victim advocates together under one coordinated approach, Child Advocacy Centers help reduce the trauma children often experience during investigations. Their work ensures children receive the care, support, and protection they need while helping families navigate difficult situations.

Fundraisers like Harvest for Kids Casino Night help provide the resources necessary to continue offering these critical services throughout western Kansas.

Whether you're a seasoned card player or someone who has never stepped up to a blackjack table, Casino Night offers a chance to learn how to play casino games, enjoy a great meal, spend time with friends and family, bid on auction items, and support an organization that makes a lasting difference in the lives of local children.
