The wind blew and it rained too.
Reports were flying fast and furious of impending bad weather, all things threatening the annual Geneva June Dairy Night in the park.
Now, although it definitely dampened spirits and added to the work of the committee, they managed to pull off at least some of the things that had been planned before they called it a night.
Carnita pulled pork sandwiches, with cole slaw and chips, along with a cold beverage were ready for purchase. The free ice cream demanded instant attention, as the weather was quick to turn them to smoothies.
