Wamego

I'm like, look, let's not waste this day off.

What should we do? And you know I had wanted to go see the Wizard of Oz Museum, which just so happens to be in Wamego.

Wamego just so happens to be, you know, like an exit 20 miles outside of Manhattan where my son goes to school.

So we decided to get in the car, drive to Wamego, Kansas.

visit my grandparents' gravesite.

The entire Wright family plot is there.

day trip.

The exact number of artifacts from the 1939 filming of The Wizard of Oz is unknown.

Concordia shut 'em out.

Wamego beat 'em 57-13.

Oh, th- just nobody wants to go against Wamego.

Chapman 42 to seven, Rock Creek 45-seven.

They did battle back, get a win over Clay Center, 17-14, and then Augusta just gave 'em the beats last Friday.

Yeah, and this is kind of into the Wizard of Oz.

We went to Wamego, got a cool little day trip you might go to.

Oh.

Yeah, you can do that in a day and come back.

Let's dig into the mechanics of that terror.

When you look at the historical documentation, specifically the archives preserved at the Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas, MGM was paralyzed by the fear that audiences would simply reject the fantasy world of Oz.

They thought it would bomb.

Completely.

Uh, by day I work as a customer relations consultant for WTC Fiber.

I focus mainly on business sales and retention, primarily across our Manhattan and Wamego communities.

I also studied organizational leadership at Fort Hays State University.

Go Tags.

Yep.

There's two spots there that, that between, uh, Naperville, um, I think Wamego specifically, but Lasqueti as well.

But Grand Bend, they'll draw Americans.

Um, not that TMP doesn't either from Buffalo, maybe I shouldn't disqualify that.

He is a running back and defensive back.

He was pretty good last week at Wamego.

A huge game with the Mulvane squad and the Wamego Red Raiders.

230 yards on the ground, four touchdowns in total, and to cap it all off, a game-winning INT in a 41-40 win at Wamego, AKA Boomtown is what they call it.

Here is Jackson Schneider with our high school male athlete of the week, Hayes Ensley from Mulvane.

Jackson Schneider here at Mulvane High School today for our male high school athlete of the week.

I'm joined by Mulvane senior running back, Hayes Ensley.

A fantastic performance on Friday night for you and your team, Hayes.

I don't know.

For me, it's Wamego.

The other side is Topeka.

Once I get out there, I'm like, okay, see that silo? That's 12 miles away.
