Weather forecast predicts more rain and a hot spell with temperatures around 100 degrees for eight straight days, affecting the upcoming mile crop. A Kansas highway map edition was released, featuring standard symbols adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials, with Garden City highlighted on the map. The band concert is scheduled for 8 pm in Stevens Park.
