 January Means that It's Time for the Annual Adolph Rupp Tournament! For the past 38 years, Halstead has honored its very own legend of basketball, Adolph Rupp (September 2, 1901 – December 10, 1977). To this day, Adolph Rupp is known as the "Baron of Bluegrass" for taking talent from the hills of Kentucky and creating championship teams at the University of Kentucky, the 3rd winningest coach in college basketball history, winning 876 games in 41 years of coaching, and setting a remarkable standard of excellence at Kentucky that exists to this very day. Rupp is also second among all coaches in alltime winning percentage (.822).
This year, the teams competing in the Adolph Rupp High School Basketball Invitational Tournament are:
- Andale
- Cheney
- Garden Plain
- Halstead
- Haven
- Inman
- Moundridge
- Rose Hill
In memory of Adolph Rupp's amazing basketball coaching achievements, Halstead invites seven teams to our humble community each year for some of the best high school basketball in Kansas. We invite everyone to enjoy the Adoph Rupp web site. Better yet come spend the week with us and cheer on your favorite teams, and see the Adolph Rupp display (portion of the display is shown above) at the Halstead Historical Society!

 Blues By The Tracks - Keeps the Blues Alive September 22nd in Halstead! Emma Creek Farm, located three miles east of Halstead, is where “Blues” brothers, Ken and Charles (Chuck) McCart were raised along with brothers Bob and Ed. The name Emma Creek Farm was chosen by their mother Irene. The festival was named, “Blues by the Tracks” simply because there are railroad tracks nearby and it sounds “Cool”.-- Ken started going to the Chautauqua Hills Blues Festival in Sedan, Ks in 2003 with his cousin Phyllis, and her husband Steve Jordan, who was the president of the Wichita Blues Society at that time. Steve plays harmonica and is lead vocals for “Made From Scratch”, a local blues band from Wichita, Ks. Ken enjoyed the festival so much that in 2004 he took Chuck with him and they decided later that year that they would like to host a festival of their own in 2005 with the goal to help support local blues musicians. The weather and attendance were good their first year and they decided to make the festival an annual event.
- Gates: Open at 12:00 pm
Show: 1:00 pm to Midnight
Admission: $15.00
Parking: FREE
Camping: FREE
Food: Vendors will be present
