The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve has the largest unbroken tract of native tallgrass in the U.S. When you visit their site, be sure to click on their Photo Essay to explore America's vanishing prairie. It might have you looking at Kansas in a different light!
Here are some of the activities planned for Saturday:
And then it's all capped off with a 90 minute outdoor concert on the prairie, and at the end of it, a beautiful sunset is planned. That is, unless the rain moves in.
All in all, it should be a nice little getaway for us. Other little towns are scattered along the way, just waiting for us to discover them, too. So more reports on Sunday night or Monday. We'll be staying overnight on Friday and Saturday, just so I don't have to worry about being too tired to enjoy all the things I want to hear, see, smell and feel!

Oh how fun! Have a wonderful time! It sounds so relaxing!
I am pretty sure there is a book in our local library about that Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. I forget the author but will have a look the next time I am in the library. I read it and enjoyed it alot. We have a wild grass prairie preserve near here but probably different plants. We also have some original woods on our property so the subject is of great interest to me. I hope you enjoy your holidoy. How not to!
Ohhh, it'd be fun to sit on the edge of the prairie, looking out into the vastness, and work on a quilt square... pretending, of course, that you're Laura Ingalls Wilder, in a prairie schooner, heading west... :)
This sounds just up our alley!! We love to do things like this! Hope you are having a wonderful time!!
