For all of the years I have lived in and around Gaylord, I've never attended the Fair. Now, because of a longer story I won't tell here, Mary and her friend Liz, have inherited the Avon booth at the fair.  Tonight, we are setting it up.

Let’s rock out!

Science! (Fun with Ethan and Dylan)

I got a chance to change with Ethan and Dylan the other day. We went to the park in Gaylord at S. Maple School, since Mary and Trisha were at an Avon meeting in town. It was a good time with me teaching a science lesson about static electricity. 

Getting started on the Polish Fest.

The polish fest will start on Thursday and last through Sunday. Here are the pieces going into place.

The Gaylord Drought Looks Like It Will Continue

Of course, with those words, that’s when the sky splits open and it pours. However, if you look at this picture:

Then you see that the main rain has again gone by to the north and the south. This is also the case of Boyne Falls, where I am typing this morning. I know many will say, “But Jeff, look at that mass of rain to the west of you. Surely that will bring some relief?” Well as I have been watching it on the radar the heavier rain has been heading south and the weaker area is beginning to open up.

To see how we got into our drought, watch this video below put together by Nick Schwartz (aka Shaggy), a meteorological intern at our office.
