This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, Vicki E.!
I am so excited for this week’s giveaway.
In case you haven’t heard, Kansas is the birthplace for college basketball, and we are lucky enough to have one of the most amazing college campuses just a short drive down K10. As soon as you’ve reached the “hill” you know you’re in Kansas. The red rooftops and native limestone buildings from the Flint Hills create an absolutely beautiful backdrop. You walk toward Allen Fieldhouse and see the bronze statue of Phog Allen and you instantly feel like you are a part of something bigger – part of a unique history that is Kansas.
We hear a lot about the men’s team, but did you know that the KU Women’s team is a force to be reckoned with? The freshman Gonzales twins are proving to be a formidable opponent. Head Coach Bonnie Henrickson has led the KU Women to post-season play in seven of her nine seasons, with back-to-back Sweet 16 tournament runs.
And, while you are in Lawrence, check out the plethora of amazing places to eat and shop. Have you taken a stroll down Massachusetts Street? (Mass, for those in the know). I love to eat at The Mad Greek, Free State Brewing Company, and Quinton’s. And, I can’t leave town without picking up some of my favorite candles from Waxman Candles.
We are so excited to give away 6 tickets to a KU Women’s Basketball Game and a $50 Gift Card to Downtown Lawrence so you can enjoy a great night out. The winner may choose either game:
- Wednesday, February 26th, 7 PM vs. K-State
- Saturday, March 1st, 7 PM vs. Iowa State

We enjoy being able to stand where the players leave the court after the basketball game.
Having the kids be able to be that close to the players is always fun. You can’t
get that close at most schools.

My husband went to KU and we go every year to some sporting event. My 13 year old daughter went to the KU volleyball camp which was a blast for all of us. My 16 year old daughter loves to shop downtown. Tickets for 6 would be awesome as each daughter could bring a friend which makes it more fun. Lawrence is a great town.

We used to love to sit on the hill before they made it so you can’t see the game anymore. Now it is going to watch the women’s volleyball and dinner.

My favorite tradition is before the basketball games – waving
the wheat, the Rock Chalk chant and the team intro. Always
creates a lot of energy and excitement in Allen Fieldhouse.

Okay, confession, I’ve never been to a KU game. I moved here from Michigan and am a huge Michigan State fan; however I work out with a group of ladies who are all KU fans and I think this would be a great girls’ night out!

We have never been to a KU game. 🙁 Two of my daughters LOVE basketball and currently play on their High School Varsity team. This would be so awesome to go and watch! 🙂
