Today the annual Red Shoe Calendar, featuring some of Lawrence’s most recognizable residents, hits stores. Law enforcement officers, coaches, artists, business owners and athletes have all donned a pair of red heels to raise awareness for the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
You may recognize their faces, but how about the feet? See if you can guess the Lawrence residents who claim these feet?
To see the entire photos, you will have to buy the calendar. The $20 calendars will be sold in businesses throughout Douglas County. The theme this year is on decreasing childhood bullying, which has been linked to domestic violence.
Some of the local businesses where the calendars will be sold in Lawrence are The Lawrence Arts Center, Gary Gribble's, Kieu's, Landmark National Bank, Central National Bank, Prairie Patches, The Etc. Shop, Lawrence Memorial Hospital gift shop, The Oread, The Eldridge Hotel, Hair Expert Salons and Spa, Yarn Barn, The Merc, Lawrence Journal-World, Esquina and Stitch on Needlework Shop. In Baldwin they can be found at the Lodge and Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce. The calendars will be at The Corner Shop and The Sandbar Sub Shop in Ottawa and the Perry Police Department.
