Our latest fountain contest begins today and the first person to send us the address of this Midtown fountain wins two tickets to the Jiggle Jam Family Music Festival.
The contests start each Wednesday through May 8, with the winners and history of the fountain announced the following Monday.
The contests allow people to show their knowledge and also call attention to the city’s 48 fountains.
About half of them need repair and the City of Fountains Foundation is trying to raise about $2.7 million to repair the eight fountains in the most need.
E-mail contest entries to mjdraper@midtownkcpost.com, with your address so we can mail you the tickets.
Donations for fountain repair can be sent to City of Fountains Foundation, 4049 Central, Kansas City, Mo., 64111.
