Wouldn’t this be an AWESOME way for your kids to have a sleepover in the back yard? It’s beautiful to see the finished product and touching to see kids working on it soberly all day. FRO is already scheming ideas for next year.
There was plenty to see and do yesterday even if you weren’t ready to paint a tent.

We spent yesterday going through the unclaimed auction items and arranging pickups. There were 40 phone calls to make and a host of meetings still to arrange. Jon took back the u-haul and unpacked while I did the calling and imploring. Tonight we’re meeting a bunch of folks by the Ward Street Bridge to exchange items for dollars in the hopes that they might catch sight of some beavers About 80 children completed the bracelet activity and 48 took the post test with 91% accuracy overall. We sorted out the right answers to the after quiz and drew two at random from a bucket. One in Martinez and one in Walnut Creek, and both were excited to learn that they had won. I wish we could give that post test to congress!
All day there were surprises and special moments, including our stellar musicians and their many unexpected lyrical substitutions with beaver words. Where else on God’s green earth can you enjoy Bluegrass, Dixieland, bagpipesAND clog dancing?
Oh and THIS, which FWS is very interested in having broadcast their Beaver Mania event. A second life for Bob’s genius!
