I'm a big believer in taking advantage of cool things in our own
backyard. In Hutchinson we have a restaurant that's listed in some
national guidebooks, and I still run into people who've never been
there - Roy's BBQ.

Quivira National Wildlife Refuge is well worth the thirty minute drive drom Hutchinson. Drive west on Fourth and keep going until you see a sign for Quivira. Then just enjoy the scenery.

When I was a kid one of my favorite things we did every year was go to this big rodeo in Sikeston, Missouri. Everyone in my family rode horses, but we just rode - no tricks, nothing fancy. Going to the rodeo is an event, and if you've never been to one, you should give it a try. It's good to venture out of our comfort zones sometimes. We've got a really big rodeo - the biggest Nighttime one in Kansas - happening in our own backyard. Call 620-459-4653 or email

Dillon Nature Center is 100 acres, with more than 3 miles of trails that
wind through prairie and woods, past ponds and marshes. Some of the
trails are paved and some are more natural. It's a National Urban
Wildlife Sanctuary, and lives up to that designation. You'll see turtles,
ducks and who knows what else on a walk there.
You can fish in the pond, have a picnic on the grounds, or check out the
visitor's center with a whole collection of critters. You think you're
too old to watch the bees? I think not. Some things are just always cool,
and that's one of them.
