This is what we did back in '94 when the hail came through our garden on
the Thursday before our Show. All we had left was a beautiful carpet of
multi-colored confetti on the ground. It is a good thing it was pretty
because that year, for us, it was over. I cried for 2 hours.:-( We
just had a hail here followed by tornados all over the place. We'll
know in the morning how bad it was. Notice it is the Thursday before a
Saturday show again??
