On Fridays throughout the year, Liberal’s Baker Arts Center offers lunch to patrons, and for the month of April, those meals will be cooked by a special chef.
Kaleb Booth, who has cooked at the center in the past, is bringing the heat and the flavor to the Baker kitchen, and Director Misty Martin said she wanted to put a type of art on display which typically does not get a lot of attention.
“Historically when people think of art, they think of paintings, pottery, drawings, and one of my biggest hopes as a whole for Baker Arts for our community is this recognition that art is creativity in any way shape or form,” Martin said. “For me personally, cooking is my way of creating.”

Kansas Department of Transportation
The Kansas Department of Transportation has scheduled to start a resurfacing project the week of April 13 along Kansas Highway 144, from the U.S. Highway 56/K-144 intersection to the U.S. Highway 83/K-144 junction in Haskell/Gray counties.
K-144 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as crews work to resurface this approximately 16-mile project area. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes as flaggers and a pilot car direct one-lane traffic through the work zone.
