The first hard freeze of the season Wednesday night in Hays as the overnight low dropped to 26 degrees and it stayed below freezing for 6 hours.
A reminder that winter will soon be here, and in preparation the 14th annual coat drive is Saturday. Coats, hats, scarves and gloves have been donated and will be given away at Top Notch Cleaners and Master Cleaners in downtown Hays between 9a.m. and 2p.m.
There are no income guidelines for receiving a coat.
