(Atlantic) – Mark your calendar for August the 4th at 7-p.m., as the date and time for “Art in the Park for Adults,” at Sunnyside Park, in Atlantic. Parks and Rec Director Bryant Rasmussen said they’ve been running an “Art in the Park” program for YOUTH, every Wednesday at 9-a.m. The event has been held at different parks each week in Atlantic, since the program began. That continues through the end of July. He said the success of the program sparked an interest in having a program specifically for adults.
Simply show-up, and “freestyle” your art’s – or hearts – desires.
Other activities you may be interested in participating in, include a “Treasure Hunt” with a cool treat as your possible reward.
Bryant says later this Fall or early Next Spring, they are hoping to have an even bigger treasure hunt, like those held by bigger cities.
He says the Parks and Rec Dept. will have a booth at the 2021 Cass County Fair, where their staff will answer your questions about the parks, take suggestions for things you’d like to see, and promote the all the different recreational items available for you to check out, including the shelters and sports equipment, like bicycles.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s dry conditions held about the same in the last week with around 70 percent of Iowa in some form of drought — and around 25 percent with severe drought conditions. D-N-R hydrologist, Tim Hall, says the overall picture is still better than we had one month ago. “The numbers are better from this time in June until now. We’ve reduced the coverage of drought across the northern part of the state — so the rains have helped,” Hall says. “All of southeastern Iowa across the southern tier of counties is free from drought and dryness.” Hall says.
He says the average stream flows across the state are around normal — which is a little misleading.”It’s really wet in southeastern Iowa. It’s kind of dry in north-central Iowa — so the average number belies the fact that there are areas of the state on either end of the extreme. Still the area that we are concerned about that were are trying to keep a careful watch on is north-central Iowa down through central Iowa through the Des Moines River and the Raccoon River.” Hall says the long-term forecast is a concern.
“So taking us through the end of July there’s very little rain in that forecast for most of the state of Iowa. So, dry conditions, not a lot of rainfall. We might expect to see a deterioration on the landscape that would be reflected in the drought monitor,” Hall says. Hall says we are in a situation where things can flip in a real positive direction or go the other way in a real negative direction depending on how much rainfall does come.
“We might expect to see some downgrading of parts of the state here in the next couple of weeks unless we get some rain,” according to Hall. The new drought monitor will come out on Thursday.
