Drums, bells, tamborines

Most of the day, the weather alternated between patches of sun and shade.

It was hot, humid & happy.

Just after 4, though,
a rain shower had people scrambling for cover.

Unfortunately the shower became a torrent, and
exhibitors and visitors
called it a day.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped set up, execute, and wrap up this year's
Festival for Wildlife.
