Yesterday was the 1st day of River Festival. I work the Lost and Found booth with my husband's Ham radio club. The core of the L&F is hubby, me and 2 friends from Great Bend. Carol and I both sit and knit most of the festival. I'm working on hat for great niece and the STR Club sock and she's working her way through her MIL's stash of redheart making charity scarves. Other than knitting, we listen to the music, and look for lost youn'uns and parents. Yesterday we had 3 cell phones and a wallet turned in, all claimed by end of evening and 6 kids. The last was a 9 yr old girl who had been dropped off in park with instructions to look for family friend! There were 9,700 people in the park last night! Finally had to involve police to track down phone numbers for a grandfather who came to get her! She was so panicky she wanted to walk to grandparents home. Like we could let this pretty little child walk anywhere at 9:30 at night. Honestly, you have to pass a test to get a DL but anyone can have kids!
Back today for a long day of sittin' and knittin' in 100+ heat...whew....

Amen to that, sister! Amazing to just dump a kid like that. Couldn't the parents be reached? Was teh child supposed to have gone home with teh family friend that she was supposed to find?Sometimes people are such idiots!
