TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Troy and Lacey Hartman felt called by God nearly 10 years ago to pack up their lives in Springfield, Missouri, and start a new church in Manhattan, Kansas. From there, Rock Hills Church was born. “We did a demographic study and found that 65% of the community in 2015 was unclaimed to any faith, and we felt like that’s why God is sending us, because our heart is to connect the unconnected,” said Lacey Hartman.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The barricades went up Monday on the Branner Bridge as crews use the next 110 days to make improvements to the bridge. This closure will impact travel for several events, one of those being Germanfest. Chairperson Marilyn Riddle said this isn’t the first roadblock they’ve run into prior to their event. “A few years ago, River Road was closed, Seward Avenue has been closed during Germanfest, so the third time something’s closed so we’re just used to it,” said Riddle.
