Yesterday, a group of Kansas residents, former Kansas residents and wannabe Kansas residents gathered to celebrate Kansas Day here at Alamo Rose RV park. It turns out that Kansas became a state of the U.S. on January 29th. About twenty people from the park showed up for this social. As introductions were made the commonality of our Kansas ties was disturbed by a divisive element that made its presence known. Much like the friction between Kansas and Missouri residents that has been felt since the "Border Wars" during the Civil War, factions took sides. Groups took sides as Kansas Jayhawk fans and Kansas State Widcat fans made themselves known. Especially with the big rivalry game coming up on Saturday, tension in the room was apparent. All kidding aside everyone put the rivalry aside and enjoyed the finger foods and time to meet fellow Kansans.
