THINGS WE L VE
MERRIAM SWAG We love Merriam, and we hope you do, too! If so, wear it with pride. The line-up of Merriam merchandise is perfect for hometown repping or gift-giving to others. Sizes are available from littles to adults, and we’ve also got tote bags to complete that Merriam Just Right look! Buy a fun design at Merriam City Hall. THE NEW 2021 KANSAS TRAVEL GUIDE While the Merriam Community & Visitor Guide is an award-winning publication (and a must-have when traveling to Merriam), we also recommend picking up a copy of the 2021 Kansas Travel Guide. This colorful and informative publication is the perfect companion for those long road trips across the state or finding the perfect place to explore closer to home. Order a copy online at travelks.com or stop by the Merriam Visitors Bureau to request a copy. 20 20 || 2021 2021 Merriam Merriam Community Community & & Visitor Visitor Guide Guide
FOOD We couldn’t list our favorites without including food, right? It’s hard to pick just one thing in Merriam, but for now, we’re loving the new cinnamon walnut coffee cake at Strawberry Hill Povitica Bakery. If you’ve ever tried their delicious Povitica, this is the next “goes straight to your thighs, but worth-it dessert.” Buy it in store at 7226 W. Frontage Road or order online at strawberryhill.com.
