Humboldt

Humboldt is a friendly little town in Allen County. We visited because of the Biblesta, which is exactly what you'd think: A Bible-themed party that the whole town shows up for!

Magen ran in the Biblesta 5k early in the morning. Then, after returning to visit the Safari Museum in Chanute, we returned to Humboldt for the Biblesta parade in the afternoon.

One interesting fact about Humboldt is that a Confederate sympathizer was shot there during the Civil War for trying to steal the U.S. flag from the town square. The name of the local bar, "Reb's Place," is a reference to that event.
