• Olathe prefers its fights unsanctioned

  The Great Mall of the Great Plains may be bleeding customers and tenants, but that doesn't mean the city of Olathe wants bloody mixed-martial-arts fights inside the mall. The city's blocking a promoter from holding fights at the mall because, you know, that's not something Olathe could support.

There'll be pet weddings (I think) and a pet costume contest and parade. It's $7 to enter your pup (check out the flier for more info).We can only
