The legend of the Blue Moose started over 10 years ago in the neighborly confines of Prairie Village, Kansas. Stories of this tall, darkish blue beast with huge antlers quickly spread throughout the area. Grandparents told their grandchildren tales of the elusive and mysterious Blue Moose, most claiming to have personally seen him off in the distance on a cold and foggy night. Of course, when speaking of legend, one can never be too sure of what separates fact from fiction. Some say he still walks his original beat, sticking to the shadows. Others claim that they have seen him with a band of gypsies roaming as far west as Topeka. Tales of a kind moose doing good deeds have become part of Kan

This area is known for its big, Victorian-style homes and circular intersections. Potwin is a community favorite, especially at Christmastime, when neighbors join forces to decorate the homes and intersections with lights and themed décor.
