The month of June is Business Appreciation Month. The Kansas Department has announced several Merit Award Winners. Several of our local businesses are receiving that recognition including South Kansas Oklahoma Railroad, Forte Products, G&W Foods, and Caney Drug.

The Governor's Award of Excellence is the top award given to a business by the state of Kansas, and of the four finalists, our local Morningstar Care Homes of Fredonia is on that list. The winner will be announced at the Team Kansas Awards Banquet June 4 at the Kansas State University Alumni Center in Manhattan, Kansas.
