The Smoky Hill Museum building is still without power this morning. The Museum will remain closed today. Arts and Humanities offices are also closed.

Those who have Smoky Hill River Festival wristbands and t-shirts to pick up may do so at the Mulberry gate bridge when the Festival opens on Thursday, June 11 at 4pm.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
