    This is the 22nd annual event held by the Kansas Horse Council, at Topeka's Kansas ExpoCentre, February 22nd-24th. This is a huge equine event that has multiple activities, taking place in different locations across the grounds. Literally, there is something for everyone! From cowboy poetry and art, to the vendors with tons of shopping opportunities, to the different clinicians and demos. This is not specific to a riding discipline, nor equine breed specific. If you own horses, enjoy horses or even like to view them from afar, this is an event you will want to attend!

    As a miserable ice storm came through Manhattan and Topeka areas I found I was stuck in Topeka and decided to try the new Hilton Garden Hotel. I was delighted how nice everyone was and that I found a room at no notice. The room is huge with large bathroom and ceilings. I have my computer with me, my iPad and am set. Nice hotel with tons of amenities. Going down for the taco special can’t wait. Found a new place in Topeka I recommend.

    Kaw River Park
    Kaw River State Park is a real treasure. It’s in Topeka, the only urban-type state park, and there is no admission or passes required. It’s on about 76 acres of oak-hickory forest with steep slopes and good views, adjacent to MacLennan Park and Cedar Crest (the Kansas Governor’s residence). The park offers hiking, walking, running and mountain biking trails, and the river is accessible to canoes, kayaks and other small watercraft. Wildlife is abundant…deer, turkey and numerous other species can often be seen in the forest. It’s located north of 6th Ave, just about a ½ mile west of Fairlawn Road in Topeka.

    Kansas History Museum, located in Topeka, is a great activity for the family. Be sure to stop by the Discovery Place while there for a hands on interaction the littlest ones in your family can learn through play. Lots of events on their page and guided tours for a group. I have been on multiple occasions and still enjoy it every time.

    The Great Overland Station has been renovated and is open for tours. It was originally opened in 1927. The railroad has been a part of the Topeka area for a long time. So to seeing this station restored was amazing. It is also adjacent to the North Topeka Arts District, which has lots of electic shops. What a great place to spend a Friday evening.

    Topeka was nicknamed the Golden City by early settlers to the area, taken by the beauty of the sunlit rolling hills and autumn elms. The city crest was designed in the 1960’s by city-county planning department artist, Ed Bruske, at the request of Commander L.R. Olsen, for his USS Topeka guided missile cruiser. This ship was the second of three USS Topeka’s named for our city. The third USS Topeka was commissioned in 1989 as a nuclear attack submarine, and is still on active service. The Topeka flag was adopted in 1977; it was a United States bicentennial project of Boy Scout Troop 43 and designed by Dana Villeme, a 13-year old Eagle Scout, with the advice of some local architects.

    Huff 'n Puff
    Huff 'n Puff has been a Topeka tradition since 1975 and is held at Lake Shawnee. Currently, this event hosts approximately 30 hot air balloons each September and is a three day weekend event. The balloons try to fly Friday and Saturday, both morning and evening. On these nights they also do a glow at dusk. Then the balloons fly again on Sunday morning.

    The event has a county fair touch to it. There are many food and beverage vendors, music and just a great time. Do make sure to arrive early, as on a Saturday night my wife and I were in the RE/MAX balloon and we could see how long the line was to get to the event! Also, Lake Shawnee is not only a great place for Huff 'n Puff, but also water sports, baseball, and more including places for weddings.

    Today, September 19th, was a beautiful day for this great event. The Paws in the Park event, which took place from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, promotes animal advocacy in our community and there's always such a great turnout. The day begins with a one mile Mutt Strut and includes vendors, pet contests, activities for the kids, and a silent auction. Each year, Topeka's HHHS provides sanctuary for a staggering 8,000 animals a year. Mark your calendar for next year, come on out, show your support and enjoy the day in beautiful Gage Park!

    The Herschel-Spillman carousel was in poor condition when it was purchased from Boyles Joyland in 1986. With public and private funding, the animals were painstakingly repaired, one at a time, and repainted in their original color by Will Morton of Denver. The renovation was completed and the carousel opened to the public in 1989. It is indeed a beautiful sight and fun to ride! This carousel is one of only 200 of its kind remaining intact today.

    You may know that Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s two-year robbery and homicide spree ended in northern Louisiana on May 23, 1934, when law enforcement officers fired a hail of bullets into their car, killing 23 year old Bonnie and 25 year old Clyde. But did you know…that Bonnie & Clyde had stolen the 1934 Ford V-8 sedan from Jesse and Ruth Warren’s driveway at 2107 SE Gabler in Topeka on April 29, 1934?

    They drove the car from Topeka to Louisiana, where they met up with Henry Methvin, a friend they had earlier helped escape from prison. Methvin betrayed Bonnie & Clyde, and his father helped arranged the ambush that killed them.
    When the Warren’s got the car back, it had more than 160 bullet holes in it. The car has been sold several times over the years, and as best I can tell, is still with the Terrible’s Casino chain.
