It was a dark and stormy morning. The threat of rain hovered overall and a few sprinkles descended and graced our cheeks. It rained a little during the day and I'm sure the turnout (although pretty good) would have been better if it were a sunny day. The event was hosted by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Girl Scouts Heart of the South. (I can't remember which Troop showed up. But the numbers 2 and 7 keep scrabbling around in my brain for some reason.)There were many exhibitors including wildlife groups US Fish and Game, Jackson Stormwater among others. Smokey Bear was thear, er there. Ronald MacDonald was there, too.
The rains came around 1:30 so we all packed up a half hour early. There were grins all around and the sea stars were very popular in Tennessee. The weather also made an ideal teaching/learning opportunity regarding storm water pollution.
