Blackdog Festival

Dexter, Kansas will again celebrate this historically significant trail that once extended proudly through its beautiful, pristine  valley. Only remnants now remain, but its important story lives on through the people of the valley. In sharing this fascinating tale in an entertaining and unique, hands-on way, we attempt to honestly show the binding of two cultures and our part in the important changes that touched America in a very special way.
