13 Things Every Kansan Wants The Rest Of The Country To Know

If there’s anything Kansans hear all the time about our state, it’s that we’re “mediocre” or “boring” and that there’s “nothing good about Kansas.” Aren’t you tired of hearing all that negativity about such a great place? Tell them about some of these things! Kansas wants you to let everyone know what we’ve got.

1. We aren't weak for not having a state team, we're stronger for sharing with someone else!

2. Our beaches are just as fun as yours, and we don't have to worry about sharks, either!

3. We're rich in culture, with strong Native American, German, and Swedish ties.

5. We're fearless, and some of the hardiest people in America. Who else would chase some of the deadliest storms?

6. We're never lazy when it comes to good fishing or hunting. Catch us awake earlier than you, for sure!

7. We're rich in history more than money, though there's a lot of wealthy farmers.

8. We're more than just grassy plains and cow pastures.

9. We're innovative to a fault. What else would we do with all this wind?

10. We're in love with our own creations...

11. ...but we also love the traditional classics!

12. We've got the best sunsets ever! Nothing looks better than a lit up Kansas sky, promise.

13. Us Kansans are so much more than where we're from, it's where we're going!

What else do you want to shout to all the naysayers out there?
