Lawrence bucket list items for KU fans and locals
Lawrence residents share a vibrant list of experiences from Allen Fieldhouse’s living pulse to sledding Campanile Hill and eagle watching on the Kansas River. They celebrate farmers markets, monarch tagging, Naismith's grave, parades, Red Dog Days, Sidewalk Sales, and a Tax Day post office party as uniquely Lawrence traditions.
