Commisioner Praeger hands shopping bags to visitors at the Mid-Week Farmer's Market Commissioner Praeger at Farmers' Markets

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger visited the Mid-Week Farmers' Market at the State Capitol Wednesday, June 10, as part of her summer tour of farmers' markets. She was promoting healthy choices and buying locally. The Commissioner and staff members handed out shopping note pads and reusable shopping bags, both with a sunflower logo and department information.

"A great way to reduce health care costs is to develop lifelong healthy habits," Commissioner Praeger said, "and by shopping at your area farmers’ market, you are choosing to buy locally produced foods from your friends and neighbors. That’s a win-win situation."
