Fourth of July on the river

For those of you with no vacation plans this Fourth of July weekend, you might just want to head to downtown Parkville.

Parkville’s annual Fourth of July festivities began Wednesday, July 2, with the Midland Empire Carnival in the downtown parking lot. Today and Saturday, July 3 and 5, the carnival will run from 6 to 10 p.m. and from 11 a.m to 11 p.m. Friday, July 4. Entry is free, but rides are pay as you go.

District closer to tax increase

It looks more likely that Park Hill School District property owners will be paying higher taxes this year.
