Farmers Union hosted a day camp in Geddes, on June 24th. Youth spent the afternoon focused on learning more about the history of Cooperatives through games and interactive lessons. Time was spent playing games, making crafts, and learning about renewable and nonrenewable resources.

Sunday night a thunderstorm came through Avon with heavy rainfall leaving the city park flooded. Locals reported rainfall totals from 2.95 up to 3.30 inches. With the hot, windy weather we had last week the rainfall and cooler temperatures will be a good change and will help the crops.
