Daily Bread: October 30, 2008

In our schools today, there’s no school. Play.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for a sunny day with a balmy high temperature of 63 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac continues a multi-day series prediction that it will be “cold and dry just in time for trick or treaters.”

In Wisconsin History on this date, in 1914, from the Wisconsin Historical Society comes a proud report that the first 4-H Club in Wisconsin was organized:

On this date the Linn Junior Farmers Club in Walworth County was organized. This club was started five months after Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act which created the Cooperative Extension Service whereby federal, state, and county governments participate in the county agent system.

Coming Tomorrow for Halloween: the 2008 Edition of Boo! Scariest Things in Whitewater. Last year’s edition is available for ready comparison.
