( MSC NEWS)-This year's Big Kansas Road Trip, which is to showcase Brown, Doniphan and Nemaha counties, has been postponed from May until September 10-13 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a news release from the Kansas Sampler Foundation, the decision was made by the Foundation and BKRT county leaders after consultation with local governments.
Designed to bring people into rural communities in a tri-county open-house style, Foundation Director Marci Penner said most of the activities planned for the May dates can still happen in September.
The September date was chosen to avoid conflicts with other planned local events.
At the time of the decision, the fifty-page BKRT guide had already been printed. The guides will be distributed now in August with an affixed label stating the new dates.
Penner said though locals and people around the state are disappointed with the postponement, it seems that everyone understands.
