More than 2,000 residents of the Big Apple entered a contest to win a free trip for four to Topeka. The 2,024 people entered the giveaway by Visit Topeka and Kansas Tourism after New York Mayor Eric Adams made comments Feb. 27 belittling the position of Topeka's mayor. "I'd like to express my gratitude for the thousands of New Yorkers who've expressed interest in Topeka and Kansas and want to learn more about our great capital city,' said Sean Dixon, president of Visit Topeka, on Wednesday. Visit Topeka has randomly chosen the winner's name and is in the process of contacting that person, said India Yarborough, communications director for the Greater Topeka Partnership, of which Visit Topeka is a part.
