Dodson News for October 12, 2016

Dora Henry and Teri Leys were in Havre visiting Bill and Marilyn Henry on Wednesday. Dora Henry attended a meeting at the hospital on Tuesday.

Rain started on Saturday evening and continued thru Wednesday. A total of about six inches fell in Dodson and there were various reports from across the county on the amounts different parts of the county received and there was water everywhere and much flooding. Quite unusual for October. Some country roads were washed and water was going over other roads. Houses in town were surrounded by several inches of water. Cooler weather and frosts followed.

On Thursday several people, including Teri Leys and Wink and Terri Cole spotted a large bull moose just about a mile south of town across the highway from the Stagecoach Inn. The moose became frightened and ran west across the fields toward more freedom and the trees at the river and could not be found although they searched for it.

Polly Solberg attended meetings and the young children’s basketball tourney in Malta on Saturday.

The Dodson kids had their Homecoming parade with floats and the outriders on horseback.

Polly Solberg received word her cousin in Florida survived the hurricane and Dora Henry’s granddaughter in Georgia reported she and her two young daughters were safe.

Congratulations are sent to Edward and Polly Solberg as they celebrate their wedding anniversary.

You know you have had too much rain when the ducks are riding in boats.
