Don't forget Art in the Garden at Toad Hollow. I believe it is this Friday and Saturday. Correct me if I'm wrong. Does anyone know the times for Art in the Garden?

The DK200 (Dirty Kanza) is expecting approx. 200 riders who will be at the starting line come 6:00am in downtown Emporia this Saturday. This is a big time race with many local competitors. 200 miles on a bicycle in the beautiful flint hills in one day!! Thousands of hours of training have gone in to many local racers. Good luck to all riders!
