Drown Caterpillars ~ don't burn

For those of you battling the tent caterpillar problem by cutting and then burning the branch ends with the tents, please be assured that by plunging the branch into a bucket of water you will still attain the desired effect.  Let them soak in the bucket...they will drown.  Don't let the branch touch the sides of the bucket unless submersed, or a few survivalists will crawl out.  This method is effective and doesn't contravene the burn-ban.  After a few days, empty the bucket in the bush.

Abandoned Jackets ~ please retrieve if yours...

Now and then we have a really warm day. Perhaps this is why there are three jackets left in Forbes Hall's foyer. They have been hanging there for a few months....one is a Dakota Black & Tan, another a man's reversible Black/Plaid and lastly, a woman's Misty Mountain Turquoise small size one.

If any of these are yours, please drop by the Hall for retrieval.
