"If no one answers, hang up!" Following the July 21-22 rain and subsequent flooding, the fairgrounds were under about 2 feet of water but the swimming pool was not affected. The drive up phone at the fairgrounds just managed to stay above the flood stage. A week later the park was dumped dry, hosed off, and decontaminated in time to hold festivities for the RAGBRAI crowd. Very hot weather helped dry the park but made it difficult for workers. Looking northwest from 4th St. SW.
