The Flint Hills Ride – Our Annual Fundraiser

A fundraiser for the
Maisie DeVore Community Pool

A custom rural UTV/Side by Side ride through the Flint Hills surrounding Eskridge, Kansas.

DeVore Community Swimming Pool Association is will be hosting our 3rd annual Flint Hills Ride May 26th, Memorial Day Weekend.  This will be a UTV/Jeep ride through the beautiful Flint Hills and will start at DeVore Community Pool and include stops such as Mill Creek Campgrounds and Lake Wabaunsee. The new 2024 route is one thousand percent breathtaking. 

We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy our small-town community pool that was built over 20 years ago! It is important to us to keep our pool maintained and safe so that our future generations can enjoy the greater quality of life they deserve. Our pool is unique in that it is ran by community fundraising, donations, and volunteers. Each year we spend roughly 15k to open the pool for a mere 13 weeks. 13 of the best weeks of your child and family’s’ life!  Come to play, learn to swim, or enjoy some water aerobics this summer!

What is a “ride”?

A “ride” is a UTV/SxS or Jeep. We are only registering rides this year, not how many riders in a ride.

Each year we design a customized route to show all the best sides of the Flint Hills! This year we are traveling North of Eskridge! A map with all stops will be provided on paper the day of the event. We estimate the ride to be about 40 miles with 3 designated stops.

What can we bring?

We highly encourage anything you might need for a long trip out in the country side—sunblock, snacks, and drinks in the cooler! And anything you might need for the Kansas weather and wind! We’ll also have Maisie’s Market available for sale during ride registration (9-10). A chicken dinner is available to purchase for after the ride.

Parking is open and available around both the DeVore Swimming Pool (on Maple St, between 2nd St & 2nd Ave) and Eskridge City Park (4th & Main St).
