Sunday

It's Boilermaker Day!

61.7 degrees at 5:30

• Sunday: Partly sunny, hot, and humid. High: 89
• Sunday night: Mostly clear. Patchy fog and muggy. Low: 68
• Monday: Hot and humid with afternoon and evening showers and storms. High: 90, Low: 66

Among the many runners from Waterville and surrounding communities will be several from Tammy Alcott's running group. They started training in March and have been meeting every Thursday night since - some preparing to run the Boilermaker 5K and some the 15K. For the last several years, Tammy has encouraged all level runners to participate in this famous event and this year she organized several of WCS soccer athletes to compete in the high school 5K division of the Boilermaker.

Mary Campbell will be at the highschool at 6:00, this morning (!) to take pictures of all of them. Just as soon as she has those on the WCS website I'll add a link, right here, so check back!

For everything else "Boilermaker," go to the Utica Observer-Dispatch or WKTV Newschannel 2.

A good place to be later today!

******************

There was lots of activity at the Waterville Historical Society, yesterday.

With Loomis Country Rides starting at 9 o'clock and parkinglots filled,

Sandy and Dick Martin were ready with Hot Dogs;

and Al Toussaint was out at the Hop Exhibit showing off a fairly new acquisition - this enormous, hand-woven hop basket.

Final count: 141 tour bus riders who had come from as far away as South Carolina and Pennsylvania and one family named "Loomis" came from New York City!

********

Pat's South Babbot Avenue Shop was open, too.
