The Skidmore-Tynan Fall Festival was plagued by bad weather Saturday. The Elementary festival began at 4 p.m. Shortly afterwards, a violent storm blew through dropping approximately 3 inches of rain in a little over an hour and knocking out the electricity. "That's not right!" someone commented as the rain blew horizontally, first from the east and then from the west. A steady stream of festival goers filed hurriedly through the front door of the pavilion as hail fell during the most violent portion of the storm. Then, as suddenly as it had started, the storm abated and all was calm.
The High school portion of the festival began a 6 p.m. with raffles, a cake walk, bingo in the old gymnasium, and other activities. A high point of the evening was the presentation of two excellent plays by the High School Drama Department. "Seven Wives for Dracula" and "The Trial of Goldilocks" had the audience rolling with laughter. All of the actors and actresses are to be commended for their hard work. Standout performances included Katy Casas and Rose Cavasos as poison-happy "Sisters One and Two," Rob Boscamp as the crotchety hard-of-hearing "Judge." and Will Handy as the improbable "Baby Bear."
