SUMMARY:Maple Leaf Festival
DESCRIPTION:One of Kansas’ largest fall festivals features craft exhibits\, quilt shows\, performing arts\, live music\, unique food vendors and family activities while supporting local nonprofit organizations. \nThe Maple Leaf Festival began as a community event in 1958\, inspired by Dr. Ivan Boyd\, a biology professor at Baker University as well as Dr. Charles Doudna\, Bill Horn\, Leo Smith and C. R. Whitley. Dr. Boyd noted that the third weekend in October was the optimum time to view the changing colors of the Maple Leaves in the area and the perfect time to celebrate the successful harvest. \n67 years later\, with over 300 craft exhibits\, quilt shows and displays\, performing arts\, music\, unique food items and activities for the family\, the Maple Leaf Festival is the biggest fall family event in the area and provides an opportunity for local non-profit organizations to raise funds.
