Eureka artist Jim Brothers visits Eureka for town reception
Eureka native and sculptor Jim Brothers returned for a reception at the Greenwood County Historical Society and Museum with his mother, Jean Brothers, after years away since his Eureka High School graduation in 1959. He is noted for sculptures for the national D-Day memorial in Bedford, Virginia. The Seem-To-Be Players host a Cats and Bats play and costume contest for children and families at the Lawrence Arts Center with tickets at the door. Kansas University choral groups perform KU Sings at the Lied Center, free to the public, featuring Collegium Musicum and multiple choirs. Police stop in Lawrence leads to drug arrests after a car stop and a house search yields marijuana and paraphernalia.
