Our latest fountain contest starts today, and the first person to send us the address of this Midtown fountain wins two tickets to the Jiggle Jam Family Music Fest over Memorial Day weekend.
The contests will start each Wednesday through May 8, with the winners and a history of the fountain announced in a story the following Monday.
The contests allow people to show off their knowledge and are intended to call attention to the city’s fountains.
About half of the 48 fountains need repair and the City of Fountains Foundation is trying to raise about $2.7 million to repair eight fountains in the most need.
E-mail contest entries to mjdraper@midtownkcpost.com, with your address so we can mail you the tickets.
