Thank you for Joining Us!

Our schools are often the hub of the communities we serve. We were excited about the opportunity to spend extra time throughout our territory and sponsor the Rallying Co-op Spirit events for cooperative month this year.

We wanted to share our appreciation to every person who stopped by our table to visit or pick up a rally towel. The chance to experience a live event alongside our members was truly special.

Members were also eligible to enter a drawing for a $100 bill credit at each event. Those unable to attend sent their entry cards to the Topeka office to be entered into a final drawing at the end of October. Congratulations to our winners!

For cooperative month in October, 2026, FreeState is partnering with area high schools in rallying cooperative spirit. We are inviting the community to come together around the shared values that both high school sports and the cooperative model: teamwork, support, energy and local pride.

FreeState will offer free entry to the game, distribute FreeState rally towels while supplies last, and host a member-exclusive bill credit giveaway. Members who bring their personalized FreeState card found on their October 2026 issue of Kansas Country Living magazine will be entered for a chance to win.

At the end of the month, a “second-chance drawing” will combine the entries of all members who participated over the month or who mailed in a card due to not being able to attend an in-person event.

 

 

A Message from CEO Chris Parr

HOW TO ENTER TO WIN A BILL CREDIT

Your October, 2026 issue of Kansas Country Living will have a special paper wrap around the regular magazine. The pages are shown to the right. On the back, where your contact information is printed for mailing, there is a card to cut out and bring with you to an event to be entered into the bill credit giveaway that evening. 

If you don't win that night, your card will automatically be entered into a second-chance drawing. 

Members who can't attend an event or forget to bring their card can drop the card by the office or mail it to 1100 SW Auburn Road, Topeka, KS 66615 to be included in the second-chance drawing.
