Peace Poles
 
 
Monday was a beautiful day for planting peace poles!  Suzanne Neely and her co-worker, Jason Conrad, installed the peace poles at Black Hoof Park. The park is located at 9053 Monticello Road (between Prairie Star Parkway and 83rd Street). Park at the south entrance where the boat entrance is located. All of the peace poles are placed south of the boat ramp toward the boardwalk. People out walking have already been appreciating the new arrivals. A few things still to come: 1. Website updates that will include artist bios; 2. There will be a banner sign the the park entrance with all of the peace pole locations including GPS coordinates; 3. Lenexa Art Fair will have a booth allowing attendees to help paint a couple peace poles to be added to the exhibit afterward. www.lenexa.com/artfair. 4. Artist celebration and awards that will include an evening Peace Pole Stroll - likely to occur in July.

What is your occupation?    

CEO Lenexa Chamber of Commerce

 
What was your first job?  
 
Working in my dad’s dental office at 9430 Gillette in Lenexa during school breaks. I filed, did bookkeeping, made appointments, even developed dental x-rays
 

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?   

Just about anything outdoors, whether it’s puttering in the yard, bird-watching, hitting the trails, you name it

Where did you grow up and what was it like?   

I primarily grew up in Louisburg, Kansas, and it was great. All the wonderful things about a small town – I played all the sports and did all the school extracurriculars -- but still close enough to enjoy all the big city amenities

What is a favorite movie you always recommend to people?  Why do you love it?   

Apollo 13 – it’s a great intersection of historical fact, science, and entertainment, which are all things I love. Not long ago I visited Space Center Houston and got to see the original Mission Control, and I nearly lost my mind

If you were coming out onto a stage, what would your entrance theme song be?    

Maybe T.N.T by AC/DC?  My energy and drive can sometimes be a lot to take

What is your favorite type of cuisine to cook or eat?    

When I want to treat myself,  I will go for Thai food!
