Flooding waters compliments of Mother Nature!

Thanks to OPAS member Dave Smith and his Sherpa, Lori, for planning a great day.

- Host Dave Smith says:
We had 23 OPAS artists participating and 33 people for dinner.

Jim and Mary White’s son, Kelly, provided some fantastic dinner music.

Jim White also did a great job of monitoring the rising river all week long.

Judy Smith did a fantastic job of preparing an outstanding meal.

Everyone pitched in with the clean up – thanks.

It was a great time despite the recent weather and the weather of the day!
