Prairie Nutcracker©, a uniquely Kansas adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s traditional Nutcracker has been a holiday tradition in Hutchinson, Kansas since 2000, but it has been under the umbrella of ArtisTree. This year, Prairie Nutcracker Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization was founded and is looking to put Prairie Nutcracker© on the map as a Kansas tourist event. Prairienutcracker.com was launched on August 7.
