They took a huge loss this year because of the rain & a fraction of the crowds that normally show up.
So a few of us discussed it among ourselves & then with Ranger Marcia & this year instead of donating to GHSP we choose to donate to the Rugby Fire & Rescue.
The remaining $480 went to Rugby Fire & Rescue.
We were going to send them a check but Ranger Marcia took me right to the assistant chief & assured me the money would be in good hands.
I hope all will return next year, along with others. It's not uncommon to have some rain but this was the most consistent rain we have had for this event.
