The Holiday Collective

Join us Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 8 AM-5 PM for The Holiday Collective, a tri-county shopping tour! Explore 20+ local stores across Russell, Ellsworth, and Great Bend and enjoy special offers just for you along the way! We’ll take care of the rest, so you can settle in, enjoy time with your crew, and shop local!

Your $25 ticket includes your bus seat, morning coffee, and lunch prepared by The Club Bakery. 

We have TWO starting locations to choose from! Choose Russell or Great Bend as your starting location, and we’ll send over your itinerary and a sneak peek at participating stores!

We’ll enjoy coffee together and shop in our starting communities before boarding the buses to visit the other two towns. With outlets to keep your phone charged, an onboard restroom, and plenty of room for your purchases, your job is simple! Shop and have fun! Both groups will return to their starting location around 5 PM.

To join us, complete one registration per shopper or scan the QR code on the flyer.

Seats are limited, so be sure to complete your registration AND payment to save your spot. Your seat is not reserved until payment has been received. Pay by cash, check, or Venmo (@VisitRussellCounty), with payment instructions included in the registration form.

If you have questions or need help registering, reach out to Ryleigh Wagner at Russell County Economic Development & CVB at 785-483-4000 or tourism@russellks.net.

We’d love to spend the day with you!
