Hope you all had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July. There were some pretty cool fireworks around the County. We had some really hot days and did have some rain. We had an 8 hour power outage on Saturday. Wasn’t any storm or wind. Someone mentioned a couple of transformers that blew. Affected Lopez, Ricketts Glen, Mildred and Laporte. Was fixed by 9:45 a.m. so activities went on as usual. Sunday was a great day for any kind of activities. This week also to be in the 80’s and 90’s with some rain developing. We will see if that happens. I’d like no rain and a little cooler temperatures, but Mother Nature will do what she will do.
