Loggerodeo prep update

Here is another photo of a downtown flower basket, for those of you who are following the saga.

This one is on Metcalf and State in front of Wells Fargo bank. Red, white, and blue. Unlike mine at home, which turned out red, white, and purple.

I haven't been to Burlington yet to check on theirs.

Also, they're going to run the "log" on July 11th this year. Historically, it was dropped in the river at Concrete on July 4th (early!) and floated down the river to the Skagit River bridge in S-W. An accompanying boat of log trackers followed it and clocked the exact time. There are rules about what to do if it gets caught in drifting brush or an eddy. The person who buys a ticket and guesses the exact hours, minutes, and seconds from bridge to bridge wins a cash prize! So we're all gauging the height and flow of the river this time of year. But it is harder and harder to find people willing to miss the entire July 4th celebration in town and sit on a boat in the river, watching that log. So the log drive has been moved to July 11th. This log on a trailer pops up in different spots around town - just for visibility, I think.

Finally, a photo showing the ballot box at the Post Office which is always there. We have red, white, and blue in our town all year long.
