SYRACUSE, Kan. (AP) — After having to call it quits years ago because of low water levels, organizers have rekindled a floating event on the Arkansas River, which once again actually has water in it in Kansas thanks to recent rains around the region.

The Hutchinson News reports the annual Arkansas River Run began in the 1980s and included cruising the Arkansas, located south of Syracuse, in wildly decorated vessels, including horse tanks.

The event was discontinued in the 1990s when it became difficult to predict whether there would be enough water in the river, which originates in Colorado.

But water is again flowing in Kansas, thanks to a deluge of rains.

The run is scheduled for August 22.
