THE NEXT POP UP WILL BE SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

Mark your calendars now for the next two Pop Ups:

Picnic in Halstead - September 6

Songfest in Sheridan County - October 4

The BKRT Pop Up format means that Explorers get together more often and in more places throughout the year with multiple one-day adventures. The best way to get Pop Up details first, more Explorer news, and be part of Cash Mob Club is to join the Kansas Explorers Club.

WHAT IS THE BIG KANSAS ROAD TRIP

In a way, it's about pie.

Let us explain.

You can tell people about a good piece of made-from-scratch pie but there's nothing like actually smelling the aroma of it and taking that first bite and making swirls with the filling that drips on the plate and mixing it with the little pieces of sugary crust. Eating a pie in the location it's made is priceless. There is nothing like being there.

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.
