Rain doesn’t dampen spirits

HONESDALE, PA — The skies opened up and yet another powerful storm dumped bucket loads of rain on the region on August 10, interrupting plans and drenching those who were outdoors. Donna DeSimone, a member of the Beach Lake 4-H group that was at the Wayne County Fair in Honesdale during the deluge, sent pictures of the scene. She wrote, “Even though we were under water, everyone hung out in the animal barns or under the covered show area. They laughed, joked, ate ice cream and still had a great time.”
