Wichita, Mighty Big City
(Indian tom-tom beat)



Wichita, Wichita,
Mighty big city on the prairie.
Growing in leaps and bounds.
Black Bear Bosin Paintings
Statue on the river
Proud of our heritage
In Wichita, Wichita.

Windwagon Smith set
Sail in a Conestoga wagon
Admirals hat, looking glass
A rolling cross the prairie
From Wichita, Wichita

A city to be proud of,
To raise your children in.
Just west of the Flint Hills
Situated on the conflux.
Bright lights and fun time in old town
Wichita, Wichita

A mighty big city on the prairie
Wichita, Wichita, Wichita, Wichita


OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
