We are going to go ahead and close today. The water is over the road at red Bridge already with more rain coming. Thanks.
We are going to start out tomorrow on a two hour delay. To be perfectly honest, I would say we would be lucky to be able to go tomorrow at all based on the current conditions and the forecast, but the forecast could always change, but what won't change is the amount of water we currently have pooling on the road. There are full ditches and debris along the roads so if we are going to be able to go. I at least want it to be daylight for our drivers, especially ourstudent drivers. I apologize for the inconvenience. I hate delays but even more than I hate delays I hate to have young drivers hydroplaning in the dark.
$5 Jean Day Tomorrow. All proceeds will go to the Senior Class.
