"I am an artist aspiring to create a special mood or just a fond memory from my paintings of everyday life in the Flint Hills.  My paintings are a symbol of the love I have for the land, its people and for everyday life.  Working in oils, pastels and acrylic, I portray a wide variety of subjects including landscapes, portraits, rodeo western art and animals." - Deb Schroer

"Late afternoon we pulled in to Cottonwood Falls, where we are immediately struck by the building that towers over the end of its main street. Built out of native limestone with a mansard roof and an ornate clock tower, the French Renaissance-style Chase County Courthouse stands113 feet, easily the tallest building within 80 miles. It's also one of the oldest operating courthouses west of the Mississippi. Inside the fully restored 1873 building is a three-story floating staircase; at the top is a recessed oval window that offers amazing views of the countryside.
