Although Gov-elect Laura Kelly and Lt. Gov-elect Lynn Rogers were unable to fly in for their planned Day of Service on Saturday, local Democrats stilled braved six inches of snow in order to collect food for the needy in Hays.
A cleanup of Aubel Bickle Park was scheduled, but had to be canceled due to the weather.
The Day of Service was set to celebrate Kelly’s inauguration, which will be Monday.
Food collected during the drive will go to First Call for Help and the Community Assistance Center.
