    Brochures can also be found at the Lied Imperial Public Library, NRD, Imperial city office, Chase County Schools (CCS) and The Imperial Republican.
    Not only will students have an opportunity to dive deeper into the many kinds of science at this year’s SCORE camp. On Wednesday, June 14, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., there will be an evening outreach open to the public.
