Independence Day will be observed Tuesday and with that many offices and businesses will be closed.

Banks will be closed for the federal holiday. Also, post offices will be closed and mail will not be delivered. The Washington mini bus will not be operating. Other closures include city halls, court houses, and libraries. Keep an eye out for the KCII Big Red Radio this 4th of July, as it travels around the area, taking part in festivities in Wellman, Wayland and Washington.
