I wanted to share some images from the 2010 Pancake Race in Liberal, Kansas. This is the second event I have been able to attend, and I am so glad to have been a part of the festivities. This is an event that has been a tradition for more than 60 years. It's a friendly competition of women running a race with a pancake on a pan. I think they have to flip the pancake one time, and they have to have a piece of the pancake with them when they cross the finish line. The friendly competition is between the women runners in Liberal, Kansas, and Olney, England. I was able to capture this year's winner, Cheri Bevis, as she crossed the finish line here in Liberal. As you can see, the event is very popular, and brings out all of the local and regional leaders. Sam Brownback is pictured here mingling with the crowd. It truly is a great opportunity to have the spotlight on a small community in Southwest Kansas.
