Two States, Three Guys, One Big Ball O' Tape

Two New Rare Visions Episodes Debut on July 17th and July 24th at 7:30 p.m.


(KANSAS CITY)—The TV weasels are back in the Heartland as the KCPT production, Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations, debuts two new episodes on July 17th and July 24th at 7:30 p.m.

In these two new episodes, Randy, Mike and Don the Camera Guy explore the sites closest to home, such as Leila's Hair Museum at the Independence School of Cosmetology. That one-of-a-kind attraction and a whole slew of other fascinating people and places across Kansas and Missouri are the focus of the two new Rare Visions episodes.

Rare Visions: Kansas airs on Thursday, July 17th featuring Zoomer's Treasures near Pittsburg and Ernie Poe's big barbed wire buffalo in Sharon Springs.

Rare Visions: Missouri airs on Thursday, July 24th. The crew travels to Weston to see the World's Largest Ball of String and the mysterious Boathenge along the Katy Trail.

Randy, Mike and Don the Camera Guy have covered the entire country in their quest for the odd and amazing, documenting outsider artists, grassroots art environments and offbeat attractions of all kinds. Season 12 will be no different as they continue to show viewers the best the back roads have to offer in terms of art and oddities, food and fun.

Season 12 is comprised of six episodes across the southwest, debuting later this fall.
