TOPEKA (KSNT) – Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to do in the Capital City.
Many Topeka businesses, schools, restaurants and offices are closing in recognition of the Labor Day holiday this year on Monday, Sept. 1. However, some places will still be open that Topekans can go to for shopping, getting something to eat or finding an excuse to get out of the house.
