Thanks to everyone who visited High Plains Public Radio’s Garden City offices Thursday. The occasion was the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce’s June After-Hours event.
Our guests were treated to the musical stylings of Ruth Ellen Lynch and Stephen Johnson, two of HPPR’s talented staffers.
Here are a few photos and videos from last night:
