What does that mean? Close your eyes and just think about the images that come into your mind when you think of those three words: "Made in Kansas." When we imagine something "Made in Kansas," we see mental images of something high quality, made by someone with integrity, and something that stands the test of time. Kansas is a place where things are unique, interesting, and are bonded by hard work, sweat and love all at the same time. The product itself might not be made by the owner's hands, but we would wager a guess that it has probably been in their hands, with quality checked, and insured it fits standards to be in a Kansas small business. That is small business in Kansas. That is "Made in Kansas." People all over this state do wonderful things in their businesses with the same concept, and we like to celebrate those people once a year on Small Business Satur- day, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Many of you will be traveling to visit shops, but don't let that stop you from stopping at one of the wonderful little shops in a small town along the way. What is great about small businesses in this area is that they are a lot like that Indian football team headed to the state championship game. They are soaked with tradition, framed with hard work, and persevere through teamwork and community.
