The course, designed by notable architect Perry Dye, is one of the finest municipal courses in the region. The course was nominated for Golf Digest’s “Top 10 Municipal Courses.” The Course takes you through scenic wetlands areas, rolling hills, undulating greens and tight corridors through a new upscale residential development. Lunch will be provided at the Auburn Hills Clubhouse, hosted by Wichita Parks and Recreation Department. http://www.golfwichita.com/courses/AuburnHills/ Flint Hills Overland Wagon Trip: 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.– This experience is open to all guests, exhibitors and delegates. Journey back into history and experience the feel of the frontier firsthand on a wagon trip into the scenic Flint Hills. Unbroken by the plow, because of the hard flint rocks so close to the surface, these hills remain nearly unchanged from the time of the frontier. The lush bluestem grasses that nurtured the great herds of bison are now the domain of domestic cattle. Enjoy a Kansas sunrise with an authentic chuckwagon breakfast by wagon train. The group will also tour the ranch and prairie by wagon train and be entertained by a real cowboy band and cowboy poet. After a light lunch, the group will return to Wichita. www.wagontrainkansas.com Friday, September 9 Main Convention Tour 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM Pre-registration is required This tour will take us to the newest LWCF project in Wichita—a skate park situated under a highway overpass that would otherwise be wasted space! Deep bowls you’d need a ladder to access without wheels and challenging to local skateboarders. From there, we’ll visit the Great Plains Nature Center (http://www.gpnc.org/), a cooperative venture between the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the City of Wichita. The Center houses the Koch Habitat Hall, serves as a head for trails running through Wichita’s Chisholm Creek Park (also a site for LWCF and Recreational Trail grants), and is the regional office of the KDWP. Then we’re off for the Sedgwick County Zoo, Kansas’ #1 outdoor family attraction and LWCF site (http://www.scz.org/). After a special lunch, we will have a tour of the Downing Gorilla Forest, where we’ll watch the gorillas outdoors and maybe catch a glimpse of the rare okapi. Then we’ll be free to tour other exhibits until it’s time to head for our next stop. Following our time at the Zoo, we’ll head for Cheney State Park, LWCF site and a world class sailing lake, consistently one of our top-rated parks. There we will have options for several activities, such as sailing, Laser Shot booth, archery, fishing and hiking. We’ll be served a dinner of grilled buffalo steaks and Kansas home-grown produce at the Ninnescah Sailing Association’s log clubhouse, the Afterdeck. http://www.ninnescah.org/ Our after-dinner treat is a concert under the sky by Kansas’ own “Nashville Recording Artist” Heather Shelley http://www.heathershelley.com), voted “2005
