The next UFM Lunch and Learn begins at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 22, in the Event Center and is titled “Cowboys and Cowtowns of Kansas.” Over 150 years ago, the first trail herd from Texas arrived on the Chisholm Trail in Abilene. The Texas longhorns had been driven earlier to places from which they could be delivered to markets. For two decades, trail herds continues to come to Abilene and other Kansas towns. This session is presented by Roy Bird. Roy is known as a librarian, historian, college professor, and author. The class fee for passport members is $8 each.

For all Lunch and Learn classes, please bring your own lunch, or arrive early and purchase from the menu at Meadowlark’s Prairie Star restaurant.
