All it takes is a heavy downpour to ruin a perfectly fine festival. Memorial Day Monday started like the past few days, warm and humid. By lunchtime, cumulus development could be seen across the Roanoke Valley. By 2pm, the thunder rolled, and the rain rolled into downtown Roanoke. The Paul Jones Band had just finished their set at Festival in the Park when the large raindrops started pounding the hot pavement.When it rains, it pours. And it did. Here's a photo sent in by Allen Rader of the low-lying areas of Elmwood Park. Can you say canoe? Speaking of canoe. I'm hoping to "set sail" this weekend along the James in Buchanan. They are having a Children's Fishing Carnival (click for info) for families along the James River. It's free and fun for all ages...and skills.
