Do I need to register as a foreign LLC?

I have a domestic LLC in NE and am looking into providing a few select events in KS. The events would be presentations and/or guided walking tours. Would this type of event require me to register my business as a foreign LLC in KS?

It is better to register. While arguably, not regularly providing goods or services in KS does not require registration, you are doing at least a "few select events" which are being planned in advance. That could be seen as sufficient business in KS to contitute "doing business" there, and if you do business in a state--again, not just the odd unexpected sale or transaction, but a course of offering products or services there--you must register. What you describe is on the cusp of requiring registration. However, the cost of registration is small, but the penalties for not registering when you should can be large, so when in doubt, register as a foreign LLC.
