Super Bloom Draws Crowds, Chaos To Lake Elsinore

Thousands of visitors flocked to Lake Elsinore yesterday (Sunday) to get a look at the "super bloom" of poppies on hillsides around the city.  But the crowds grew so big that they overwhelmed Lake Elsinore public safety officials, resulting in authorities shutting the event down.  More from KVCR's Ken Vincent.

Ken Vincent has retired. We appreciate the way he shared his expertise with many of our young interns and reporters over the nearly eight years he spent as KVCR's lead journalist and Morning Edition host. We wish him a happy and relaxing retirement as he spends more time in his garden and, as he mentioned, more time on the golf course. Thanks Ken!
