With the International Rice Festival happening from October 18th to 20th, we’re expecting an exciting buzz in the area. To ensure you can vote without hassle, early voting traffic should approach the courthouse from East Hutchinson. Turn left into the second courthouse parking lot, and when you’re done, exit into the northbound lanes of Parkerson Avenue. Security will be on hand to assist with traffic flow. Access to the parking lot will be restricted during the Children’s’ Parade and the Grand Parade. Though, walking in traffic will continue to be accepted.
