Point of View

Our state celebrated its 149th anniversary Friday on Kansas Day. What do you like best about living in Kansas?

“My answer kind of contradicts with my first, for those who remember…so hopefully you don’t. The best part about living in Kansas is getting to experience every season to its full potential. I love to swim, I love to sled and I love everything that happens in between.”
