School’s not out for the summer yet, but KU’s campus certainly looked ready for it on Saturday with the Road to Summer Car Show that took over Jayhawk Boulevard. Elsewhere on campus, families learned more about kites and tried their hand at papercrafts at the Kite Festival events at the Kansas Union and Spencer Museum of Art, and at the scholarship halls, there was even a rock music showcase going on.
