What do you think of when you hear Kansas?

Dorthy? Toto? Flat? An awful stretch of I-70 on the way to Colorado? The “flyover” state?

I hope not. In fact, I really kind of love this place. The wheat fields. The Kansas skies. The rolling Flint Hills  and hikes in the Tallgrass Prairie Nature Preserve. Visits to the salt mines and the Cosmosphere and Space Center. World class education. Historic places, Presidents, and Supreme Court decisions. Kansas is a great place to live, a great place to raise a family, and a great place to visit.

But what makes Kansas really special, in my opinion, is the people. Some famous like Jason Sudekis, Bob Dole and Eric Stonestreet. Some gone but not forgotten, like William Allen White, Thomas Hart Benton and Dwight D. Eisenhower. But mostly, just regular folks like you and I – Down-to-earth. Hardworking. Friendly. People who smile back.

I received a basket of goodies from the Kansas Farm Bureau, a non-profit advocacy organization that supports farm families in Kansas. Each item represented a unique place in Kansas, some I’ve been to before, and some I’ve not yet gotten to visit. What I love about local businesses like these are that they represent what makes Kansas great. Good, hardworking people. Business owners. Farm families. Real people.

    Alas, I have never been to Kansas—perhaps it will be one of the places I visit when I retire!

    My favorite thing about Kansas is the variety of entertainment options available to families! My kids are never bored because there’s always a park to explore, a museum to visit, or a new fresh restaurant to try!

    I love to see the sky in Kansas. Watching the storms roll in off the Rocky Mountains can be a wonderful and powerful sight. Not to forget about all of the sunsets, sky lines, and watching the clouds move across the sky. Endless hours of ever changing pictures.

    My favorite thing about Kansas are all of the grain elevators. Seriously. I call them the cathedrals of the midwest and every year I put a grain elevator coffee table book on my X-mas wishlist. Eventually I’ll get it! They are so majestic.
