***We're still on for Saturday! We've been watching the
weather closely! The National Weather Service current forecast
shows: "Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of
less than a tenth of an inch possible." We've decided this doesn't
warrant the considerable dropoff in participation we'd get in changing
to Sunday. From video forecasts as well it looks like if the occasional
shower pops up, it shouldn't last long and it shouldn't be very heavy. So we hope it won't be too disruptive to the day!***
