I was just starting out on vacation. A friend I was traveling with drove from Nebraska and we started in the early afternoon, arriving in Liberal about five. I had told my friend about Liberal's annual Pancake Day race and asked the young lady at check-in if she was a longtime Liberal resident, and if so, could she give us more infomation on the race, specifically, if the girls are all Liberal residents. She assured me that it's all local talent and they're serious about it. How fun.
