Mulberry is the little town that refuses to quit. Once a popular rest stop for travelers along the Military Highway, the little burg has experienced some rough times. But the spirit of the town refuses to quit. Mulberry has always been a focal point for young athletes. Kids from the surrounding small towns, including Liberal, Missouri, still come to play on the city basketball court, recently refurbished with a grant from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK). Mayor Pat Walden wants to capitalize on that momentum. Walden’s plan is to renovate the city’s baseball field at the City Park. Currently, the entire diamond is covered by grass, the lights do not work, the outfield fence is gone, restrooms need updating, and the bleachers need replacing.
