Kansas inauguration ceremonies moved indoors due to weather

Inauguration ceremonies scheduled for Monday will be held indoors in the Kansas House chamber due to forecasts of frigid temperatures.

Organizers of the ceremonies said people wishing to attend the 11 a.m. event, which will feature the swearing-in of Gov. Sam Brownback, should enter the Statehouse through the north doors, off of Eighth Street, through the visitor center. Parking is available in the underground garage, accessible from Eighth Street, and in metered spaces around the perimeter of the Statehouse.

Visitors should allow extra time to enter the building for security checks of all persons seeking access for the inaugural events.

There will be limited public seating in the House Chamber on a first-come basis. The public will be able to hear the proceedings through speakers on the first and second floors of the Statehouse. The events are scheduled to be streamed over WIBW.com, as well.
