Sunflower field crowd snarls traffic on holiday weekend
In Leavenworth County traffic backed up for hours as a popular sunflower field drew visitors from Olathe and beyond. Drivers reported long lines, road closures on Kansas Highway 32, and calls for sheriff presence to direct traffic amid Labor Day congestion. Local residents described delays hindering emergency access as vehicles queued near the sunflower field two miles west of the site. Officials relied on highway detours and police coordination to manage the surge.
