Drying Tent
Troop 21’s Boy Scouts flipped their tent over to drain out the previous night’s rainwater, when they camped out during the annual Circle of Fun at St. Mary Church. The troop is chartered by the church. Every year, Troop 21’s Scouts keep the grounds clean by collecting trash during the event. Photo by John D. Ryan.
