(KNZA)--Three local counties will be showcased during the third annual Big Kansas Road Trip next year.

During the Kansas Explorers Club meeting Sunday, it was announced that Brown, Doniphan and Nemaha Counties have been chosen by the Kansas Sampler Foundation for event to be held May 7-10, 2020.

The announcement was made during this year’s Big Kansas Road Trip that took place May 2-5 in the northwest Kansas counties of Cheyenne, Sherman and Wallace. The inaugural event was held in Barber, Comanche and Wallace.

According to a news release, the Inman-based Kansas Sampler Foundation created the Big Kansas Road Trip after ending the 28-year Kansas Sampler Festival.

Foundation Director Marci Penner said the purpose of the event is to help the public get to know Kansas communities of every size.

In late April, the Kansas Sampler Foundation staff of Penner and WenDee Rowe met with representatives from the three northeast Kansas counties to explain what was required and confirm interest.

Penner and Rowe will be coming to each county later in the year to explain how the event will work and what needs to be done.

The duo co-authored the Kansas Guidebook 2 for Explorers after researching every incorporated city in Kansas.
