Farewell Party

First of all, it is 25 outside again this morning. Enough of this already!

We had a short day at the Visitor Center yesterday as we closed at 5 PM so that all the employees could attend the farewell party being held at the Elks Club in Jackson. We started at 8:45 AM, so we still got in our full working day.

The party was very nice and all the folks - paid employees and volunteers - were invited. These shots were taken at the party before sitting down for dinner. The first shot is of our manager, Angelica, who came with her 18 month old son::


These shots were taken of our group:



Following dinner, recognition was given to the volunteers and staff by our Elk Refuge Director who said some very nice words about Josie and I and our contribution to the Elk Refuge during a trying and sometimes stressful summer season. It was a nice way to end the season.

With only three work days left, we are watching the weather forecasts and holding our breath for some decent weather this weekend. Right now, it still looks like some rain and snow for Sunday with possible clearing on Monday - the day we are scheduled to leave. We thought about trying to leave  on Sunday to get away from this area as quickly as possible, but with the forecast not looking so good for Sunday, we will stick with the original plan...
