July kicks off with the annual Wild West Fest celebration in Hays for the July 4th holiday.

Activities continue all month long with fun-filled events for local residents as well as visitors.

The Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau has also launched a new trivia contest this month with questions about the city and its attractions. Winners will receive several Hays promotional items, and $25 in Chamber Bucks from the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce.
