October Stroll
Starting date:
Event# 580-596-6111
Event Details
The theme of the October Stroll was inspired by the practice of planting turnips along with wheat each fall. A carry over from our pioneer days, when Turnips were an important source of winter food, this practice today results in the town being inundated in turnips each fall. So, join us as we decorate them, turn them into little cars and race them, pitch them, and fire them using a giant turnip gun. Of course, we will have chances to taste them as well, with a recipe contest. Children aged 4 and up can compete in a pedal tractor pull. Music, crafts, and food complete the fun.

Little Sahara Dunes
Little Sahara State Park offers the perfect "oasis" for off-road vehicle enthusiasts with 1,450 acres of rideable sand dunes ranging in height from 25 to 75 feet. Each year nearly 100,000 off-road vehicle enthusiasts visit the park.
There is an area of flat sand for those sand-draggin' times, as well as a special trail that encompasses the area offering plenty of scenic views. In fact, this area has some locations with cottonwood groves and trails branching out through them. As with any sand area, in the heat of the summer it is best to stay clear because it gets too hot.
But how do you see this magnificence and experience the excitement if you don't have a dune buggie? No Problem! Little Sahara offers dune rides! These dune rides include a little bit about the flora and fauna of the area as well as a great ride around, up and over and through the dunes!
