Food and Fun for the Whole Family!
Year after year Larned residents and visitors alike come together to relax, make memories, and celebrate our historical sense of community. The weekend’s endeavors kick off downtown on Friday with “dragging the gut” at 4 pm, followed by the Larned city pool opening and hamburger feed. Live events continue late into the evening and start back up bright and early Saturday morning with our mouthwatering biscuits and gravy feed, to get the whole family prepared for even more excitement ahead. Kids will be able to play and explore to their heart’s content throughout the day, where they can interact with animals at the petting zoo or soar to new heights in the inflatable bouncy house. You can expect food vendors like Bahama Mama’s shaved ice, Harvest Nutrition’s healthy snacks, and beverages, and Silvey Concession’s loaded fries, not to mention our mouthwatering corn dogs and chicken n waffles. And don’t forget to pick up a few unique gifts throughout the day, from Larned State Hospital Wood Crafters’ handcrafted wooden items, Eileen Thompson’s handmade sewn pieces, Meyer Crafts, and many more!
Welcoming All Rodeo Goers and Fans!
In conjunction with the Trail Days and alongside the Larned All-School Reunion, our event coincides with the Santa Fe Rodeo! This event will take place both Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm at the Pawnee County Fairgrounds. There are multiple events to watch or participate in such as bareback riding, large and mini bull riding, calf roping, barrel races, mutton busting, and much more. And, to conclude your fun-filled weekend, you can experience a beautiful worship service at the Santa Fe Trail Center Chapel starting at 10:30 am.
Mark your calendars and gather up the family to come out to enjoy all the fun with us this weekend! Morris Smith Ford is proud to be a supporter of our community events here at home in Larned, KS.
