(KAIR)--A tradition of the Memorial Day holiday weekend won't happen in Atchison, due to the recent stretch of cool weather.
According to a news release issued by the City of Atchison, the municipal Lions Pool will not open for the holiday, as has been the annual tradition.
The news release notes that's because the cool air temperatures have caused the water to remain around 60 degrees, and the water is not expected to surpass 70 degrees during the upcoming weekend.
The City of Atchison plans to open Lions Pool once the water temperature exceeds 70 degrees.
