CHICO — With warm weather and many students out of school for spring break, both people and wildlife were out and about Wednesday in Bidwell Park.

Some braved the chilly waters of Big Chico Creek while others enjoyed the sun.

The temperatures are expected to stay in the low 70s today before a storm brings rain Friday and Saturday to the north state.
