What is Life Like in Rooks County?

     It is Quiet Neighborhoods where kids can play outside, people can go for evening walks, or neighbors can visit from the front porch.  Citizens take pride in the fact that the pace of life allows them to enjoy more time at home and less time in their cars.

      It is Good Schools with low teacher-student ratios that allows for individual attention.  Schools that allow students to excel in a safe, productive environment.  In addition, the schools offer extra-curricular activities such as athletics, music, and drama to name a few.  With small student numbers, everyone is given a chance to compete.

     
 
    It is Downtown Shopping areas that provide close parking, friendly help, and service that you can only get in a small town.   Many of the buildings reflect the areas historic past. 

The city of Hays is only a short drive from our area and features a mall and several large discount stores.

      It is Health Care Facilities that offer the latest in diagnostic services and doctors that provide the personal attention that is lacking in many larger cities.  The Rooks County Health Center is a brand new state-of-the-art facility that has gained attention across the state.   The hospital is affiliated with the Hays Medical Center.

    It is Entertainment!!!!! Whether you are  enjoying the local county fair, attending a football game at Fort Hays State University, visiting one of the area lakes, or just spending an afternoon in the park,  we have plenty to see and do.
