In case you missed it today, our first ever beaver festival was a resounding success. Hundreds of visitors, lots of supportive new members, many successive crowded beaver tours, photographer from the Times, news from channel 11, and our friendly documentarian to name just few. There were many lovely entries in the tail contest, and great support for the raffles and display tables. Friends of Alhambra Creek, Lindsay Museum, Mt. View Sanitation, John Muir National Parks and the Marin Native Museum could barely keep up with the traffic. Frogard Butler brought clay and did beaver sculpting with the children, and Cheryl had some success with the video letter although many were too shy to say much. Mark Ross was there and was very impressed, and when we went to dinner afterwards to celebrate our success Tim Tucker took the picture. It was a grand day, and everyone should be proud. Thanks to each member and non member who helped out, and thanks Robert Rust for baking your lovely beaver breads. Pictures will follow, sleep now.
Update: Why can’t all articles be like this one? Thanks Simon!
