The Riley County Police department is ramping up preparations for the upcoming Fake Patty’s Day.

The event, which has become somewhat of a local phenomena, takes place on Saturday, March 2 in Manhattan. RCPD Capt. Greg Steere spoke at Monday’s Riley County Commission meeting, and says they expect the event to again be more of a house party-type event.
