Mulberry Mayor Pat Walden was beaming with pride in his hometown as he showed off the newly restored basketball court at the Freddy Gobl, Jr. Park made possible by a $2,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK). Like a lot of small towns, Mulberry needs help, so Walden said he just took a chance and applied for a grant through CFSEK, a local organization that hosts individual charitable funds created by donors who have a passion for giving back to the community. Grants from these funds assist people throughout southeast Kansas and beyond. According to Walden, a lifelong resident of Mulberry, the court is just used by local residents. Kids from nearby communities, including Arma and Arcadia on the Kansas side, as well as Liberal, Missouri, come to Mulberry for a game.
