WICHITA — Wichita is poised to declare a public emergency so a bar can properly celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Mort’s Martini and Cigar Bar applied to the city for a special permit so it could cordon off part of the parking lot for the event, scheduled for June 18-19. Mort’s co-owner Morrie Sheets says he’s gotten congratulations on the anniversary, including from Gov. Sam Brownback.
