COMING UP

The 10-Minute Responsible Thing

Life insurance is easy to avoid, because it’s really not that fun to think about. If given the choice, we’d prefer to use our brain power imagining a horse wearing a cowboy hat… But this needs to be done. 

Ethos makes the insurance of life a lot easier to deal with. You answer a few health questions online, skip the medical exam altogether, and most people get approved the same day. Every plan includes a free will, so you can knock out two of life's least fun tasks at once. Policies start around $54 a month*, and more than 500,000 families have already gotten covered through them. If people depend on you - a spouse, kids, parents, a horse wearing a cowboy hat, anyone - it’s one of the most assuredly useful things you can take care of in about 10 minutes.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • A little love for the planet goes a long way. Head to Powell Community Center in Mission on Saturday, Oct. 17, from 9AM-noon for the free, family-friendly Go Green Environmental Fair. Good for the earth, good for KC.

  • Dogs in costumes? That's our kind of Sunday. The 32nd Annual Dogtober Fest returns to Kemper Outdoor Education Center on Oct. 18 for a free, dog-friendly community celebration. Bring your favorite four-legged local!

If you see a dog in a Halloween costume this weekend, please tell them they're doing an incredible job.

Stay spooky, stay local, and definitely let the vampires talk you into buying a third cocktail
