Happy Canada Day everyone!
We needed the rain, the rain came, and I think we probably all agree that we now have had enough rain! In light of this, we figured it would be fitting to share some "fun" facts about rain.
Did you know July's flower is the water lily?
Raindrops can fall at speeds of 22 miles/hour and can range in size
from 0.02" - .031" in diameter
One inch of rainfall over an acre of land weighs 226,000 pounds. In 1952
74 inches of rain fell in a 24 hour period on the Indian Ocean island
of Reunion.
Don't forget to get your tickets on our "Summer-Themed" gift basket. This basket contains camping items, beach items, BBQ items, a $50 gift certificate from the Shell Lake General Store, a $25 gift certificate from the Shell Lake Hotel and a $25 gift certificate from the Lark Restaurant as well as other fun things; basket value is $200. Tickets can be purchased at the Shell Lake General Store for $2 each or 3 for $5. We will also be selling tickets on Main Street before the Hey Days parade. The draw will be made on that day (July 16).
We hope everyone has a safe summer and remember: While you're on life's path, don't forget to stop and smell the flowers!
Thanks to Ken Hill for organizing "Our 55 Alive Refresher Driving Course". It was well worth taking!
