A few of us admiring the original girl in Aviation, Amelia Earhart, at the Capitol yesterday. Maybe a future pilot in the mix?? #girlsinaviation @ Kansas Capitol Complex instagram.com/p/CbxbZERrPQo/…

We were thrilled to welcome Art Contest winners and their families to the Capitol today to celebrate their accomplishments and have the opportunity to meet the Governor of Kansas! Congratulations students!

CANCELLATION: Aviation Day at the Capitol has been cancelled, due to a decision by the House of Representatives. Office phones are active to answer your questions.
