Hail has broken windows and the campground has been swamped (more than once) but this is minor as everything is beautiful and green. Saskatchewan is blooming from all the moisture this year.
We are working to have the Duvall House ready for the grand opening on August 13th. More about the event later.
The weekend saw an family reunion (Busch) and wedding photos in Tomahawk Park.

July 1st Celebration
The sun shone on Tomahawk Park for Canada Heritage Day for another year.
It was a perfect day - weather wise! There was a good crowd. Hope everyone had a great time.
Entertainment by Back of the Bus in the evening was wonderful.
And of course the fireworks looked awesome over the waters of the pond.

Activity at the Museum
There has been so much going on at the museum.
Construction projects:
There are two new beautiful flagpoles in Elizabeth's garden. They proudly fly the Canada and Saskatchewan flag. Great work, Lloyd.
The office area is under construction, but will be finished by Canada Day. John has been hard at work at this project. What an improvement.
The Station Office and Gallivan School entrance has been painted by Marcy and Work Experience crew.
Offsite a group has been hard at work to make some items for our Sales Shop. Check them out on Canada Day.
Preparations for Canada Day - Marcy has worked hard to make the Carnival fresh and interesting.
Tours:
We have had several tours from the local schools. Thanks to Walter for last minute guiding assistance.
Staff:
New staff will have an orientation session today.
Park Maintenance:
With all the rain, the grass keeps Bob busy. Also Marcy has been using the trimmer to keep things tidy. As well, the town has been mowing the outer areas - well done everyone.
And there has been a wedding (or almost) in the park. The weather (and probably mosquitoes) caused them to move indoors, but photos were taken in the park later.

Rain Results
The campground is once again under water. It is most frustrating. The problem has existed since before I was involved with the museum. So difficult to market a place that can't be rented out if it rains.
This time we'll see if anything is done.
Apathy can choke enthusiasm.
