About three this morning, Sundance crawled into bed with me with cold paws and a wet back. I figured this meant snow, and sure enough, we woke to about two inches of the white stuff on the ground this morning. Tom headed over to plow the railway with Dave before going around town distributing posters for the Holiday Train (mentioned in an earlier post, the one that is a fundraiser for the food pantries.) As it turned out, the batteries were dead and needed to charge overnight, so the rails did not get plowed. Fortunately they discovered this today, rather than Friday morning when people start arriving for Santa Claus. The temperature is supposed to get above freezing today and most of the week, so it is already melting anyaway. Still, a sign of things to come ...
This weekend the R&GN has its Santa Train. Weather permitting, we will also be open the first weekend in December, but that is it for 2008. That's our head of operations, Dave Simerson, as the Jolly Old Elf himself in the photo. The lady on his right is Karen Taylor, a board member and one of the most active volunteers. I am not sure who the young helper is on his left.
I read that Germany is experiencing
a shortage of Santas. It seems that you can pull in about $75 an hour as a Santa, so I would think people would be lining up for it.
