A view of the good life from Russell, Kansas

One perception I believe people hold of small towns is that we are not educated and that there are only minimum wage jobs to be had in rural America. That is just not true, a vast majority of this community are professional degreed individuals. Myself as an example, I hold a four year degree but I have made the decision to not work at this time. In order to keep myself fresh, I volunteer my time to a variety of organizations that utilize my marketing background. In addition, we are making a very comfortable living that would probably exceed the average perception of “small town living.”
Coming home to Comanche County

Economic Development Director Linda Hart invited us to Comanche County to visit three remarkable towns. We were there for a day and a half, but we got to talking so much that we only made it part of the way through our agenda in Coldwater, so we’ll be going back to learn more about the good things happening there, as well as in Protection and Wilmore. I’m particularly looking forward to Wilmore Saturday Nite: Live.
