Dodged the rain ( sort of) so our Elfins could do some fire lighting followed by a fire and singing with the Pioneers and Venturers. Used our new song books which we recieved at camp 100 last year. Some lovely singing and remembering friends who have recently passed away. Who doesn't love a sing song.♥
