Wichita aka “Doo Dah,” is a mid-size city with attractions that easily rival the nation’s largest metropolises in entertainment value. Fun awaits for all who come to discover it! 100 Things to Do in Wichita Before You Die is a bucket-list book filled cover to cover with timeless destinations and lesser-known places.
Dig into the burgeoning arts scene with tips for the First Friday Gallery Crawl or the Tallgrass Film Festival, founded by a Wichita native in 2003. Find out the story behind the 44-foot-tall Keeper of the Plains statue in downtown. Root, root, root for the home team, the Wichita Wind Surge at Riverfront Stadium. Outdoor activities, delicious dining, shopping, concerts, and a thriving arts scene scratch the surface. As they say, “Wichita is what you make it,” and around every corner is an experience waiting for you.

I have lived in Wichita, KS for 44 years. I was shocked as I read this wonderful book at the things I have not seen in Wichita these past 44 years.
Vanessa has written this book so it is easy to read and she provides tips along the way so you don’t miss something.
Vanessa’s writing style causes me to want to explore more and learn more of the history of Wichita. She tells you just enough to spark your interest and provides a bright light at the end of the long tunnel that tells you to go see this thing, touch this, smell this, and experience this for yourself and don’t miss this experience.
My twin granddaughters that are 14 years old now love history. Together we will take Vanessa’s book and go out in to Wichita and experience these 100 things to see before I die.
Thank you Vanessa for this wonderful book and May God continue to bless you and keep you in your future endeavors.

I’m born and raised in Wichita and have read and heard many of the stories. A lot of amazing things in Wichita that I had forgotten about. And many more things that brought wonderful memories from my life. Both are tremendous books and well written.
