Make A Splash Topeka Water Festival Rained Out Around 850 fourth graders registered to visit Garfield Park to participate in 34 hands-on activities and visit five exhibits at the 21st Annual Topeka Water Festival. Unfortunately, lightning and intermittent downpours caused the event to be canceled. Shawnee County Conservation District assists in many areas of this Kansas Association of Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) event. We will try again next year!
