Cominco

The Sociable affair may be postoned due to weather if it does not stop raining. we would nopt mind if we were already set up but setting up and hauling everthing there in the rain is not fun, Not many folks will attend in this weather so we may have to cancel if things do not pick up sunwise. We usually hold this Affair closer to the end of July but decided to move it ahead to catch the last 3 days of the 75th Anniversary of Yellowknifes Homecoming celebrations. We usually get very little rain here  the rain is good as it keeps the forest fire alert level low and brings the river levels up. Folks won’t want to stand around in the rain waiting for their turn in the boats and I certainly don’t want to sit in the tent for 3 days, six miles from home with no one to paddle with.

I hoping that the weather forecast comes true and things clear up today. Our second year for this event we had rain all the last day and no shelters. We now have two big sun shelters and a huge 5 meter diameter dome tent and tarps. But out of the rain and in the bugs is no way to spend your week end if it can be avoided. Anyway I will try positive thinking and work on sending the rain south to the farmers. Alberta needs the rain more than we do this year.
