Opening Day Pheasant Traditions Spur Community Events
In western Kansas the pheasant season opening weekend grows into a festival of crafts, art shows, and community gatherings. Bev Moomaw and Pat Herndon launched a yearly “Something Special” craft tour in Dighton, linking galleries, studios, and local shops with a map driven event culminating in stamp rewards and drawings by the Lane County Chamber of Commerce. The tour spotlights teen artist Cory Triplett, a Dighton High School junior, alongside past guest artisans. Other towns host parallel opening day events like Leoti’s Omiyage Arts and Crafts Show and Sublette’s Fall Festival at the Pride of Life Building, supporting art scholarships and community projects.
