A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them. ‘Come with me,’ said St. Peter to the taxi driver. The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St Peter to a mansion. It had everything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an Olympic size pool. ‘Oh my word, thank you,’ said the taxi driver. Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rough old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set. ‘Wait, I think you are a little mixed up,’ said the priest. ‘Shouldn’t I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a priest, went to church every day, and preached God’s word.’ ‘Yes, that’s true.’ St Peter rejoined, ‘But during your sermons people slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.’

TOPEKA — Kansas Tourism announced that more than 230 tourism attractions across the state, including the Hays region, are participating in the 2025 Sunflower Summer program.

Local participating tourism attractions include the Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Ellis County Historical Society Museum and historic Fort Hays in Hays, Walter P.

The 2025 Sunflower Summer program will run from July 12 to August 3. 

During this period, eligible students and one accompanying adult are granted free one-time access to each participating attraction, once per season.
