My Atchison

I am Candace Walker. I am currently a senior at Benedictine College, majoring in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. I am currently involved in SIFE at BC. After graduation, I am hoping to continue my education by getting another degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design. With these degrees I hope one day to have my own "Fashion" Personal Shopper Store/Service. I grew up in Overland Park, Kansas and went to high school at Blue Valley Northwest, where I was involved with FBLA and on the golf team.

To the left is a picture of Flyers, which is located on the Missouri River. Flyers is a small bar and grill open to everyone. Dining at Flyers is just amazing because you have the beautiful view of the river. I believe that Flyers is a part of Atchison, because there are quite a few entrepreneur shops and restaurants in Atchison. For being such a small town, I think that that is amazing.

To the right is a picture of the Amelia Earhart Bridge. This is part of Atchison because first of all it is one of the ways to get into Atchison, but it also has so much more meaning. I don't know the complete history about it. The bridge represents Amelia Earhart, since she was born and raised here. On top of the bridge is a "searchlight" hoping that one day they will find Amelia Earhart and bring her home. Atchison has so many great stories to tell and has so much history, that a lot of Benedictine Students and maybe even the citizens of Atchison don't know about.
