Ad Astra Eating--and Drinking


As we prepare to celebrate Kansas Day tomorrow, let us pause to remember Carry Nation. Ron Lopez-Reese of Topeka has quite the Carry Collection which will be donated to the new saloon that will be a part of the Old Prairie Town collection of buildings.

He added some decorations to this cabinet card he owns to brighten Carry's demeanor and perhaps soften the edge of that hatchet she is wielding. 

God bless you, Carry. A toast!
