thetopekanewsletter | February 2016 Home 3/7/16, 11:03 AM Monthly Newsletters Contact About Sign Up More Awesome Stuff Support The Topeka Newsletter wil be celebrating its 10 year anniverary this year! I am excited to be working with Umbrella Creative to enhance your experience! Stay tuned for more hints as I begin to build something really cool to help our Home Grown and locally owned businesses! Kim's Excellent Adventures New Year’s Day Dillards Sale: I am not a shopper! This year, I was in Kansas City for New Years Eve so in the morning, Frankie and I headed out to Dillards to take advantage of their 50% off clearance sale. It wasn’t all that bad. I found a quilt bed spread for one of my bedrooms! We also did more shopping and found some other great deals! Then we went to see Daddy’s Home at Fork N Screens! It was a pretty funny movie! Kim’s Hair: I have never waited this long to get a perm. My hair was horrible. After 3 hours, I got my curl back!! Thanks Kristy Kuenzi for giving my hair some hope!! Substitute teaching: Well sense I don’t work at Kansas Trucking anymore, I am able to teach again! I know once my new website is built, my time will be limited but until then, I get to teach! I have missed the kids! Mudane Mondays: Ryan and I still go every Monday to have a beer and talk about our week! We have been doing this now for 2 years! Which seems amazing but I really do enjoy our Mondays. We have made some really good friends with wait staff all over Topeka. I think we entertain them sometimes!! Krazy Karaoke at Pig Skins: This is my neighborhood bar! I always have a great time with awesome people there!! Druex Doty is the DJ for karaoke and this month was his birthday! If you ever want to do something fun on a Friday night, stop by Pigskins and enjoy some fun karaoke! PJ Party: After our 30th class reunion a few of us girls decided to try to get together a few times a year. I took the first step and planned a PJ Party at my house! It might sound crazy but you are never too old to hang out with friends! It wasn’t a wild and crazy night but it was so much fun hanging out with the same girls I use to 36 years ago! We already planned out next adventure!! http://topekanewsletter.wix.com/thetopekanewsletter#!february-2016/jdc10 Page 1 of 91 thetopekanewsletter | February 2016 3/7/16, 11:03 AM Day with Kolton: These are always one of my favorite days! This month we started out eating breakfast at Hanover Pancake House! Then we came home to watch the movie I got for my birthday from Chelsea, Aladdin! Then we went shopping at Walmart where he somehow swindled me into getting him 7 cars instead of 3. Next time, I will need to be clearer when I say you can pick 3. A pack of 5 cars was his number 3 pick. Then back to the house to play with his new cars and eat lunch!

Driving through the countryside anywhere in the world you will likely come across many barns. They drape the country in a multitude of designs, colors and architecture. Some barns are painted to display advertisements. However, a woman named Donna Sue Groves, from Adams County, Ohio wanted to honor her mother by hanging a colorful painted quilt block on her barn. Instead of just one quilt block, she began a community project with twenty quilt blocks being displayed along a driving trail to encourage visitors to travel through the countryside. This was the start of the first quilt trail in America. Quilt trails are organized all across the country. Quilt blocks are displayed on barns around the countryside and mapped out for tourists to follow these amazing works of art. Join us on a scenic journey through the Flint Hills countryside to celebrate the piecing together of beautiful quilt patterns, agricultural heritage, agricultural history and culture, and promoting agritourism and rural pride. In celebration of Kansas Day, on January 29, all guests will receive free admission to the museum to view the exhibit!

Food. We love it, fear it, and obsess about it. We demand that our Government ensure that it is safe, cheap, and abundant. In response, Government has been a factor in the production, regulation, research, innovation, and economics of our food supply. It has also attempted, with varying success, to change the eating habits of Americans.

The show title refers to not only Ptr's use of matertials but also a tongue-in-cheek proclamation after several of his works were recently deemed worthy of theft. Artist often face many uphill battles in their quest to express something to and for the world. Ptr is no exception. Not down or out, he will continue to put his unique vision into the world. Come out and visit with Ptr and see for yourself!! Artist Statement: My childhood was not filled with wealth or stability. As far back as I can remember, my parents were junkers, AKA pickers. As a teenager, unfortunate circumstances lead me to become a gutter punk. In other words, I lived on the streets of Charleston, South Carolina. My "home" was under bridges or squatting in abandoned warehouses. One positive to this lifestyle, is that I learned to utilize everything, because I had nothing. At the age of 20, I left Charleston, South Carolina, with nothing but a backpack and my dog. Together we walked and hitchhiked from the east coast to the west coast. Eventually I ended up in Portland, Oregon. Portland is where I met my wife, and for awhile, we sat down our roots. Then my life took another fork in the road, and we decided to move to my wife's family farm in Berryton, Kansas. The farm's tree lines are still filled with scrap metal and tractor parts. Originally I obtained my materials for my art projects from the scrap metal and bones that I found on the farm during walks with my family. I have always considered myself to be artistic, and have worked in multiple mediums. During the past few years, I have become inspired by reclaiming materials, or up cycling. I see a type of beauty in decay. From decay there is birth. Whether the decay is urban, industrial or organic, I see potential. What others call trash, I see as pieces to a new puzzle. I see their potential to become part of something new, to begin again. That is why I take scrap metal and bones, or whatever I may find, and I give it a new life, a new purpose. It becomes...reclaimed. Ptr Sponseller Clover GEAR Reclaimed Art Henry A. Perkins, a mild mannered C.P.A., picks up the wrong briefcase one full of money. He assumes it is illicit cash and keeps it. Knowing the owner of the briefcase must have his, he rushes home and tells his wife to pack - they’re going to Bali! (In fact, they can buy Bali.) When the police ring his doorbell, he freaks, only to find out they have confused him with a dead man, accused him of soliciting in the men’s room and more. Henry’s inept attempts to remove himself from the impossible situation leads to increasingly hysterical situations. By Ray Cooney. Produced through special arrangement with Samuel French Play Service. Memphis February 26 - March 26, 2016 From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, TN. comes a hot new Broadway musical.

The Musical Feb 11-Feb 14 A side-splitting send-up of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic's Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is....Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America's greatest art forms. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! ....Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, http://topekanewsletter.wix.com/thetopekanewsletter#!february-2016/jdc10 All Things Bright and Beautiful The Festival Singers open their 32nd season with a program that focuses on aspects of beauty and nature.

KB Mudjacking LLC. of Perry Kansas has inspected many foundation problems in our careers, and if only people knew how to care for their foundations they could have avoided thousands of dollars in repair cost or minimized their damage. Cafe Holliday 800 SW 12th St 232-2188 The primary reason so many people have foundation problems lay beneath their feet, its called “highly expansive clay soil”. Movement of foundations is a common problem in northeast Kansas, due to highly expansive clay soil and changing weather conditions. This drought continues to plague us all. As the moisture content reduces in the soil due to this drought the clay shrinks and your foundation, walkways, and driveways settle. Do you have windows and doors that won’t close? Does your basement wall have cracks? Do you think your house is falling down around you? Is money tight? Then you came to the right place!! Whatever structure you need repaired, big or small KB Mudjacking LLC a locally family owned and operated Mudjacking and Foundation Repair Company will be there for your repairs at the lowest possible cost, and help you regain your properties value. There are no tricks up our sleeves, just good old fashion tried and proven construction methods that have been time tested to fix your foundation issues. So don’t put it off any longer that only leads to further damage and costly repairs. Give KB Mudjacking a call today and one of the Keating Brothers themselves will visit you soon.
