Canton @ Old School Center

We got over 2 and a half inches of cold drenching rain last night and today it is STILL raining. The lake is very close the the very edge of the dam, if it raises much higher it will be OVER the dam. The overflow is a rushing river. Driving out to the farm I see that the Kickapoo Creek is also close to overflowing. This morning Sandy was covered DURING our walk. With Rachel's help and Sandy being very cooperative it took maybe 3 minutes so Rachel and I were able to join Diane, mom and Joan on the farm loop. I reminded Joan about the Canton 8th graders coming to the Old School Center this morning. Diane and mom also offered to come and help, Spark and Rhonda were already there waiting for us. The three bus loads pulled up just before 9:30am and started unloading. The kids were taken right into the gym for Spark to give his welcome and rule talk, then off they went. We video taped some of the party when we weren't too busy selling food. Below is the video.
Clean up went very easy with such great help and soon we were all driving home in the RAIN again.
