The event itself is about a month away, and the preparations for the Kansas Sampler Festival is kicking into high gear, according to one of its planners.
Bob Topping, president of the Leavenworth County Kansas Sampler Festival Steering Committee, updated the Lansing City Council on Thursday night on how those preparations were going.
“We are doing as well as we ever expected and beyond,” he told the council.
The festival, in its 21st year, is scheduled to be in Leavenworth on the first weekend in May both in 2010 and 2011. It is meant to serve as a “living brochure of Kansas,” featuring vendors and demonstrations from around the state illustrating both its history and its present.
