PACK 107 – Pool Party 8/18 CANCELLED

I’m going to go ahead and get the word out earlier today instead of waiting until 5:00 to cancel this evening’s Pool Party. It’s pouring rain in downtown C’ville, and the forecast predicts more of the same all afternoon, with 50-60% chance of thunderstorms from 5-6 this evening. Radar confirms a large mass of storm weather in WV predictably heading this way, scheduled to arrive in Crozet after 4.

We are close to our next scheduled Pack event, so we are going to cancel the Pool Party and not reschedule.

However, since our freezer is stocked with 4 gallons of ice cream, the Pack will need lots of help eating it at the upcoming Lake Day!

coming up…

Lake Day

Sun August 29, 12:00-3:00

Lake Day at Mint Springs Games on the beach, and ice cream from the cancelled pool party

CAMPOUT WEATHER UPDATE

Weather forecast has held steady, so we're going to go for it.

PS - my apologies for the spotty communications.  Thursday afternoon's storm took out power to Monticello Avenue online services, which killed both the Pack 107 website and email listserver until sometime approaching midnight Friday.  Hopefully you were reached by telephone.
