What we love about Kansas
"The beautiful rolling Flint Hills and the wonderful hard-working farmers that sustain our nation and the world.'' — Dellene Williamson
"Being snack in the middle of the continental United States." — Loretta Smith Klose
"The beautiful sunsets. The fields of golden wheat in the summer. The sound and excitement of tractors and combines all in a rush to get their fields cut in the summer. The wild sunflowers that grow along the roadside in the late summer and early fall. Walking into the local small-town donut shop and seeing the old farmers talking over coffee. I love this state!" — Cristy Harder
"The wonderful community of small farmers, the vibe on Mass in Lawrence on a spring Saturday afternoon, the way all of the wild grasses turn gold in the fall, the big beautiful stars on a crisp winter night, spending the 4th of July in Wamego." — Joann Gough-Stallbaumer
"Every day is a new day of weather. From 70 to 30 in 24 hours. :)" — Sherrie Hess
"It is home. BBQ in the Kansas City area. The Flint Hills. Being able to see for miles in every direction. Wind. Thunderstorms. Monument Rocks near Hays. Camping at Pomona State Park. Four distinct seasons (though I would like more snow)." — Kristi Tourville-Poquette
"The wonderful people and wide-open spaces!" — Pat Veesart
