It’s been a good rain year down in South County, but a few April
showers are always welcome
It’s beginning to look a lot like spring around here! The grass
is tall and green and the wildflowers are blooming all over the
place. I even saw my first snake along the road side today. All we
need now is a few April showers and we will be in good shape.
This has been a very good rain year for all of us. We are well
over the 15 inch mark for the year. Alex Schmidt reported that they
have had over 18 inches for the year.

Congratulations to all the high school rodeo contestants who participated in the Challenge of Champions last weekend in Plymouth. It was a wet, muddy weekend but the kids all had a great time. A big congratulations goes out to Blaine Strohn for placing second in the team roping with his partner, Wyatt Witt. Blaine will be graduating this year and will be college rodeoing next year. The next rodeo for the high school kids will be April 9-10 at the Salinas Sports Complex in Salinas.
