   The 2006 KansasFest Committee is pleased to announce Eric  Shepherd, 
owner of Syndicomm and publisher of Juiced.GS, as the  keynote speaker 
for this year's KansasFest convention.

   "It is an honor to have this opportunity to reflect on where the 
Apple II community has come in the past few years," said Shepherd,  who 
also gave the 2002 keynote, "and to help chart a direction for it  to 
continue."  Past guest speakers have included Apple II inventor  Stephen 
Wozniak and Syndicomm founder Gary Utter.

   KansasFest, the only computer conference dedicated to the Apple  II 
computer, returns returns this year to Rockhurst University in  Kansas 
City, Missouri.  Last year's convention saw the successful  launch of 
KansasFest on a campus that brought with it the  continuation of old 
traditions and the launch of many new ones,  including the Discathalon, 
which are sure to return this year.   Shepherd kicks off the event with 
his keynote speech, followed by an  official reception.

   The following days will consist of official events including 
informational sessions, the KFest Kookout, the HackFest programming 
challenge, and more.  Friday night will feature a catered dinner  during 
which a retrospective of KansasFest pasts will be presented,  before the 
convention officially concludes the following day with the  annual 
Vendor Fair, at which attendees buy, sell, and trade new and  used 
hardware and software.  This year's vendors will be making  available 
the wares of Syndicomm, The ByteWorks, Nibble Magazine, and  more.

KansasFest 2006 is set for Rockhurst University in Kansas City, 
Missouri, from July 18th through July 23th. Registration information is
