I've been praying for rain but not today.  Not looking too good, but maybe we'll get a break... Sad

 
Working on Plan B in the event we don't get a break...stay tuned to both the forum and to the main page of the web site http://www.bluffparkal.org for updates throughout the day...

We've been in touch with some leading meteorologists in Birmingham and have been advised that the odds of it raining between 5 pm and 9 pm tonight are good, BUT it really all depends on how Fay tracks over the next couple of hours.  If Fay tracks south, the chances for rain decrease substantially.  We will continue to watch Fay and make a determination between 12 and 2 pm.  If you are scheduled to have a display and/or booth at the event, please feel free to send us an e-mail at info@bluffparkal.org for any other information.

I think that's the best plan.  I will be unable to attend because I will be out of town.  But this is a great thing.  Kudos to you, Olebloo for suggesting it, and to everyone who has worked to make it come about.  This could come to be a tradition as great as the Bluff Park Art Show.  We are a community working together.

I don't know how much leeway we have with dates for rescheduling the party but I am a little worried next Saturday may not be the best time to have the party if we would like to get a lot of participation. Obviously it is Labor Day weekend and many people may be out of town and you also have to consider that college football starts next weekend and Alabama plays on TV at 7pm and Auburn's game is at 6pm. I know it is hard to reschedule stuff like this but thought I would throw this out there as an FYI.

I was thinking the same thing.  Not a football fan, but the holiday will keep me from attending.  Could it possibly be two weeks from today?

We'll look at some alternate days, but will need to have one fast.  How do people feel about instead of a Saturday from 5-9 we move it to a Sunday from 4-8 (or 4-7)?
 
No promises, but we'll see what can be arranged based on people's responses.

That sure works for me.  I love hearing the rain out there, but I hate it happened today.

Any upcoming weekend will be great - whenever it finally happens, we'll be there!  Sorry Fay picked this one weekend out of the entire season to slowly crawl through the area, but I'm glad to hear that it's being postponed, rather than moved inside today - I really think all the great outdoor-oriented activities you guys lined up will be a big draw, and was afraid that moving inside and giving those up would make folks just decide to stay home.  Thanks again for giving Bluff Park something else to be proud of.

BPcyclist, I agree with you completely.  I hate it can't be today, but we'll be there, and it will be great...

Has anyone posted a notice, or flyers, or something to let anyone who shows up know it's still on, just not today?  I doubt anyone will show up in this weather, so it probably doesn't matter.

Everyone involved has been contacted, the news stations were contacted, the web site was updated and the signs removed.

The press relase was sent before discussion about a possible Sunday date was mentioned.

Woohoo!  More and more, we're being seen as a real entity that matters.  Thanks to everyone who cares, and keep up the good work.  I've always been proud to live here, but it's getting better every day...
