Possible Preventitive Precipitation Precautions
With Saturday still being predicted as somewhat rainy (although less rain than was forecast a couple of days ago), we are looking at a few options to best protect the trick or treaters (aside from counting on the rain to cease from 5pm to 8pm). Option A: Construct a 77 acre retractable roof dome covering all campsites, allowing for rain-free travels from site to site. Unfortunately, preliminary cost estimates are between $2.5 and $3 billion dollars, with an estimated completion date of 2019...so unless we can get 200 families to book 10 years in advance and pay in full (just $10 million per site per weekend), construction will need to be delayed indefinitely. Option B: Do what you do on October 31 if it rains, which is put on your best smile and grab an umbrella if needed. While we can always move the costume parade/contest under the Rec Center, the trick or treating has little room for change, as Sunday morning just does not work (re-costuming, getting people up and about, Bingo etc). Be sure to join us for Bingo tonight (could be a little chilly), as well as Saturday's ceramics, Bingo, hypnosis show and haunted house tours. If there is rain, we will post a rainy day schedule, adding a few more activities under the covered Rec Center, since some things just can't happen in the rain (such as horseback riding).
