A little more from Chris:

“My favorite room at Meadowlark Hills is Verna Belle’s Café. I love the smell of bacon cooking as I walk by in the mornings or the smell of cinnamon rolls or cookies baking. I love to eat!”

“My favorite spot in Manhattan is the K-State football stadium or Bramlage Coliseum. I was born a K-State fan and have been going to games my entire life. A lot of my best memories with family and friends are in these places.”
