Jarett Mermis's idea was to help clean the entrance into the city to help with some grant and funding opportunities. So he and wife Audrey (Pray) came up with some ideas they had seen and they found this idea from the Fort Worth stock yard signs that go over the roads. So they put a design together and presented it to city council. Tom Kizzar suggested Chase in red. They liked the idea and asked for it to be put to bid, Leon’s Welding and Fabrication out of Hays won that bid and the city has some ARPA funding from covid relief to use and elected to do so with that. So between their company (JM Builders) and Tim White they helped put it up and will get it cemented soon. Also big thank you to Ellinwood Roustabout and Jayhawk Pipeline for bringing their cranes to place it for us!
Today on 3-13-23, Members of the Chase City and Fire Department broke ground on
our new fire station!!
This was truly a team effort as between city and fire dept members, over 90% of
the total building cost was fund raised from in and around our community! We
would like to Thank every single person and business that donated and made this
effort come to fruition!!
Building will start in the next couple weeks with a finish goal of June 1st!
Before the Chase Fest last Saturday sister Paula Bieberle along with Gene Haas stopped by the High School to put some bars on the In Memory Plaque. Of course I had to use the loo and was surprised to see this on the stall doors. I asked Gene if the Men's room was the same way and he confirmed so i went in and took photos there too. Love them.

So this happened in Chaseamerica the first week or so of
April. It was posted on facebook and some of the comments
that speculated as to what it used to be are these:
That is the Joe Adams (snow cone) home. Dr. Wallace had an office there also,
The old Adams building. Joe Adams had a plumbing shop there and they lived in
the back,
I think at one time he had a shoe repair
shop. I remember him sitting out on those stairs in the evenings,
They used to sell fireworks out of there, it was originally a meat market. The
house was added in the 50's and it was the oldest building in town. It was made
of Chase bricks, which were very soft bricks and they were made at a plant down
by where Farley's is now. So what do you remember about this building? email me
and I will add those comments to this post. Sad to see any building in Chase
gone.
I thought this was interesting, anyone remember
this family?
Article says she might have been from Chase.
Here is a photo that I took before it was moved.
Photo shared by David Peebler, we can't tell if that year is 37 or 57.
Found this in the Lyons News Archives. Couldn't find Class of 2024
Who remembers the re-opening of the Chase Theater in 1963?
Here is our future Class of 2023
This was in the Hutchinson News awhile back and thought we would share it in case you didn't see it.
