Friday - Saturday • May 19 - 20, 2017
KNPS invites anyone interested, including families, to join them for the 2-day 2017 Spring/Summer Board Meeting and Wildflower Tours. There is no charge to attend the tours. Board Members only will attend the Board Meeting Friday morning and everyone is welcome to join the tours Friday afternoon and on Saturday. We will caravan to private properties so choose the location for the "starting point" where you will join the group. You may consider extending your stay in the area through Sunday to have an opportunity to visit some of the unique shops and sights in the Cottonwood Falls/Strong City areas, including the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve and Council Grove.
Please download the one-page PDF itinerary and make your lodging plans as soon as possible.
Visit ChaseCountyChamber.org for lodging, shopping and outdoor activities.
Although there is no charge or registration required, we need head counts for planned dining options. Please click this link to RSVP by May 15.
