Weather, Or Not

This has not been a kind year for weather on our Pack 3 special event days -- due to the likelihood of rain, and the need for 150 bales of straw to keep the kids safe, which if we get 'em wet can't be returned so they're ours (giving us 150 useless bales at $3.95 each) . . .

The Cubmobile Race Day is canceled for Saturday, Apr. 19. We will try to reschedule for June 7, but that is entirely tentative based on street availability and straw bales, trailer transport, etc.

Stay tuned, and have a quiet Saturday!

Cubmobile Updates

Den Leaders,

Please forward this message to your den.

As you know we have scheduled the Cubmobile race for this Saturday, April 19th. Looking at the weather forecast there is a 40-50% chance of rain on that day. Since we “borrow” 100-150 bales of straw from the Granville Milling Company for this event, we cannot afford to get the bales of straw wet. If they are wet, Pack 3 will have to purchase the bales for $3.95 a bale. Therefore if it is raining on Saturday or the outlook looks like it is going to rain for sure we will need to cancel the event. If we cancel the event, we will send an email to all the den leaders. We would like the den leaders to make sure everyone in their den knows the event is canceled.

We will attempt to update the Pack 3 blog (http://granvillepack3.blogspot.com) with a note if the event is canceled as well.

Thank you for your help in this matter,

Jerry and Nicole Lukins
