Brad and I have driven by the park daily now for about a week ------ he has been concerned that the Bear River would flood this year. It sure looks like it is going to be happening. At the present time the water is coming from behind the park in the channel that comes from the river. He spent yesterday mowing all that he possibly could. He was able to get the majority of it but some areas were wet. This morning he left home at about seven to go check. A phone call from him let me know that he was moving the tables from the far west bowery to the upper bowery. Tomorrow he will be fastening the tables in the middle bowery together and to the poles. The Elwood Youth Council had an Easter egg hunt planned for Saturday. However, that is not going to take place. The park will be kept locked until dryer times come. The river is also way to high to have young children playing at the park. Unless things change quickly it will probably come over the banks by tomorrow.
