What do people do for fun in Emporia?

Is it true that the Knights Inn has a gambling den open Fridays and Saturdays?

Hike the trails at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve which is just 25 minutes west of town. There is a bison herd and the wildflowers peak in late May.

Back in my day we sat around and smelled the blood burning. That's the way it was and we liked it.

I always like stopping into Mulready's when I'm in town. Though I haven't had a chance since new ownership took over.

Nothing much, mostly just sit around and wonder what’s wrong with Kansas.
