A place picked by the second place team each year. There is no reason in the world that we can see.

She and some other parents are worried about some child being hit by traffic tha,t for the most part, is moving too fast past the school during school hours. Just for the record, the Lions Club spent some 5130 for a blinker type signal sign with, a battery to activate the lights, and mounted on wheels so that it could be moved on and off the highway easily. The sign was turned over to the school several months ago, but to date we've seen it in use only one day.
