My hometown pride runs deep. A native Wichitan and travel writer, I’ve authored “100 Things to Do in Wichita Before You Die” for Reedy Press. The book, filled cover to cover with timeless destinations and lesser-known places, will be released on May 15, 2022.

Affectionately referred to as “Doo-Dah,” Wichita is a midsize city of almost 400, 000 residents who appreciate it for its affordability and many attractions. I think any town or city is what you make it and it’s up to those who explore it to stay curious. “100 Things to Do in Wichita Before You Die” is a bucket-list book that includes quintessential places and experiences that you’ll love.

It wasn’t easy narrowing down a list to only 100 things to do. I thought to myself, “who would need this book?” I wrote it as a resource for visitors to Wichita, long-time residents, and newcomers. Actually, the book features more than 100 things to do as I’ve also added bonus lists and insider tips.

Outdoor activities, delicious dining, shopping, concerts, and a thriving arts scene scratch the surface. From First Friday Gallery Crawl and the Keeper of the Plains to Wichita Wind Surge at Riverfront Stadium and Tallgrass Film Festival, there is an experience waiting for you.

Follow the book’s Facebook page to stay in the know about book signing events, giveaways, and purchase links. I promise to keep it fun!

Stay curious. #100ThingsWichia
