FLAMES IN THE FLINT HILLS, A RANGE BURNING EVENT

Hot fire, hot food, cool drinks, and lively campfire music. Private native Tallgrass Prairie, purposefully managed to increase the quality of the burn. Guaranteed burning dates so you don’t have to worry about visiting The Flint Hills too early or too late to catch the burning. An intense hands-on experience, so bring your camera and rugged, all-weather clothes.

You will:

• Torch the prairie grass and “drag fire” (under experienced supervision).
• Feel the heat, hear the crackle, smell the smoke, and witness the leaping flames, all as close as you want to be.
• Understand how pioneer families felt as they watched a wildfire approaching their "little home on the prairie”.
• Participate in an afternoon and after dark burn.
• Learn how the prairie evolved under the influence of natural fires and why prairie fire was used by Native Americans and now by modern ranchers.
• Enjoy delicious food and great music presented in a native limestone building.
• Meet other interesting people who also love the Flint Hills.
• See additional information on our partner site www.prairiefireinn.com/flames.html
