Rachel's guest provided a great quote to summarize this month's episode: "If you can't see the beauty in the hills and the trees, and the creek banks, and the cows grazing, then maybe Kansas isn't for you."  ~Chris Alexander 

Episode 0207: Chris Alexander

July 9, 2019

The Fallen Cowboy memorial discussed in the episode.

Most of us have experienced that always exhilarating, and sometimes frightening, feeling when we end up doing something we never quite expected doing. Chris Alexander's path took her from theater to stained glass to metal working. As co-owner of Alexander Artworks, Chris has found herself busier than she ever imagined as she and her co-owner husband try to keep up with orders. Rachel and Chris talk about metal working, the importance of personal connection, and what it's like to be a business owner in a small town. Chris' answers and responses during the Get to Know a Kansan section impressed, and Rachel captured her insights so our listeners can add to their list of places to check out when exploring Kansas.
