Organizers have not said whether this week's show, featuring the band Shorty and the Two Toads, will be rescheduled.While the heat warning is in effect, National Weather Service advises residents without air conditioning to keep their homes well ventilated with fans, and spend time somewhere with air conditioning when possible to give their bodies a break from the heat.
