Prominent humor writers, columnists, and media personalities comb their home states for the most wacky and outrageous people, places, and things in this sassy series of state almanacs-gone-astray. Discover what's really great about a given state -- places overlooked on school field trips, people with odd and amazing talents, history that was left out of the books, a wealth of weird wonders most residents never dreamed existed.

This is a guide to the state where residents can easily claim "there's no place like home" -- as readers peruse these pages they'll find there certainly isn't Learn how to join in the Ugly Toro Contest and the Kazoo Parade; where to meet Martha the bowling ball and Big Brutus, the largest steam shovel; and which restaurant specializes in mashed potatoes -- it's all they serve.

Whether readers were born and raised in Kansas or are a recent transplant or visitor, Pam Grout's home-grown humor will have them laughing out loud as she introduces the neighbors they never knew they had and takes them to places they never knew existed -- right smack in the middle of the grand old U.S. of A.
