Visiting Kansas? Stop at the Nelsons' place

Packers fans traveling through Leonardville, Kan., might want to stop at Nelson's Landing.

That's the sports bar and grill run by Alan and Kim Nelson of Leonardville. You know their son. He's Jordy Nelson, the rookie wide receiver for the Packers.

In fact, some folks do stop by in the hopes they'll get a glimpse of Jordy, who starred at Kansas State University, or of his sister Kelsey, who plays basketball at K-State.

Kelsey occasionally waits tables and Jordy worked there before he joined the Packers, according to a story from the K-State Collegian via the Cattle Network.

Alan Nelson farms all day, then has dinner at Nelson's Landing. Kim Nelson works there all day. Open only since last December, it's become a popular place around Leonardville, a town of 375 people.

The beef for the hamburgers comes from the Nelson farm. Kim's mother makes the pies.
