Reason 47A: The renovation and re-dedication of the "anti-flooding" totem pole.
The back story is here. Anyway, the totem pole has been MIA for the past several years. The wood totem pole was originally erected in 1962. Did you know that the average life span of a wood totem pole is about seventy years? After that, Mother Nature has her way. Rather than wait until it was too late to save the totem pole, some bright and caring folks (thank you, Dave Fryman!) decided to repair and rehabilitate it. It has spent the last two years first thoroughly drying out and then being brought back to its original glory. Today was the unveiling and re-dedication ceremony. Very timely since our county is receiving 3-6 inches of rain this weekend. More than 100 folks braved the rain to watch and listen. Lots of smiles.
