SEE RELATED STORY: Kansas Originals faces demolition of its building, fears closure
Submitted
For 34 years, Kansas Originals has proudly showcased the largest selection of Kansas-made and Kansas-grown products anywhere in the world—supporting the creative work of over 200 artists, craftsmen, authors, photographers, and food producers from across the state. Now, Kansas Originals is seeking the community’s help as they’re now at risk of losing their longtime home along Highway 232.
After their 30-year lease expired, the land changed ownership, and the organization has been ordered to vacate and demolish their building by November 30th. Without immediate funds to relocate or rebuild, this vital hub of Kansas creativity and heritage could be closed.
“We are devastated. We sell the creative work of more than 200 Kansans to people from across the United States and around the world. The Post Rock Opportunities Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation,” the GoFundMe reads.
