Rainfest :-(

So the Magnolia Summerfest ended on a bit of a wet note this year. Friday was cold until about 4pm but then the sun and crowds came out and really turned the day around. Saturday after the parade was a very different story. Steady rain from about Noon onwards whittled down the crowds until by around 5pm even the bouncy house people were ready to call it quits.

I wanted to thank all of the Volunteers who helped with the Composting and Recycling, this event could not have happened without your hard work. Special thanks to Irene S., her husband and daughter, for volunteering at the last minute on both Friday and Saturday and all without being asked. Your commitment to the neighborhood and environment are commendable.

The Whole Earth Dental team made a strong effort on both days to keep the home base booth staffed while myself and Ethan from US Bank worked with the volunteers and dealt with the disposal stations. Keep an eye out for our t-shirts around the village. We gave away about 70 brown and green recycling t-shirts with our logo on the back. Sadly though we still have about 200 Popsicles which went uneaten due to the weather.

With any luck, next year's Summerfest will be a hot and dry event. I'll see everybody there.
