Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau Then things kick off bright and early on Saturday, with the DK riders leaving the start line at 6:00am. Come down early to watch our riders line up in front of the Granada Theatre. Then cheer them on as they set out onto the grueling DK course. Be sure to come back down at Noon and plan to stay well into the evening for the DK Finish Line Block Party. It’s sure to be the most fun you have had in a long while. The Dirty Kanza weekend will wrap up Sunday morning in the Civic Auditorium with the DK Rock Star Breakfast and Awards Ceremony. Breakfast is open to the public. So come on down and enjoy a hot breakfast cooked up by the Emporia Kiwanis. Let’s “pack the house”, and make these riders truly feel like Rock Stars. All of us here at Dirty Kanza Promotions wish to say “Thank You” to all the citizens of Emporia for making Dirty Kanza “The World’s Premier Gravel Grinder”. We couldn’t do this without you.
