Wax Museum Opens In Wichita Shopping Mall WICHITA, KS -- "They are so lifelike they almost look real" local shoppers said at the grand opening of Wichita's newest family wax museum. Kansas' largest shopping center, Town East, under increasing pressure from store owners to keep shoppers happy and entertained, opened the new wax museum Friday. The grand opening of the museum marked the 42nd wax museum to open in Wichita in 1996. The event featured a live rock band, a 12 foot bungee jump, gambling, and burning a nude woman shopper at the stake. Oddly enough, the museum's most popular attraction was a replica of a local wedding party. One visitor reportedly exclaimed, "Hey, I know those folks."

This is my daughter Andrea's big wedding day. She'd been on her own for nearly five years, went to college, found a good guy, and decided that taking care of herself was too expensive. So she met a guy and got him to do it for her. It's a never ending story. The photo in the story above was taken at Andy's wedding in Kansas in mid 1996.
