Upcoming Events:
Big Kansas Road Trip
The Big Kansas Road Trip changing up the format to explore more through Pop-Up Big Kansas Road Trips. The first one will be August 24 in Blue Rapids – we’ll be Rollin’ around the Squircle (square circle)–and suggesting other things that have a round component. This new format will allow Explorers to get together more often and in more places throughout the year with multiple one-day adventures.
The Big Kansas Road Trip is designed to turn people on to exploring by doing it and to do it in a way that will help sustain our communities.
Kansas communities are bolstered by people who love to explore.
The idea is to get people onto the back roads and into Kansas towns to actually SEE PLACES. To actually EAT IN LOCAL CAFES and to talk to and GET TO KNOW THE LOCALS.
