Happy Fountain Day!

April 6, 2010
Justin Kendall,

Guessing you didn’t get today off for the Fountain Day holiday, did you?

BlogKC reminds us that the city’s 47 fountains get turned on today, starting with a ceremony (really) at the Thomas H. Swope Memorial Fountain kicking off at 11 a.m. The Swope Fountain is pretty cool since it’s one of the two solar-powered fountains in the city.
