You win some. You lose some. I heard yesterday that troop 429 will be helping us with the festival. 13 12-13 year olds. The troop’s leader is a pediatrician and she says her children have loved the festival for years and can’t wait to help. Another leader is a member of the CERT team so they are also volunteering our emergency plan for the festival to check another city requirement.
How lucky can you get?
I also got another piece of amazing news that is too good to even talk about right now, but trust me it’s GOOD.
Not that lucky, because I heard this morning that our beloved artist FRo Schmidt can’t be there this year. She will be recovering from knee replacement. Her email was tearful. FRo and her amazing artwork with the children have been the heart of the beaver festival since its inception. But I love her more than I love the festival and she must heal the right way. We will find a way. We always do.
