Our intrepid volunteers from PAN

On January 11th, we had a wonderful bunch of volunteers come all the way from Fayetteville (and one from Blacksburg!) to insulate barrels in Prenter. We have been insulating barrels with cardboard, plastic sheeting and heat tape to help prevent freezing. Despite the bitterly cold and snowy day, these guys never lost their enthusiasm. They worked until the sun was going down and we ran out of materials… and they hardly wanted to quit! We insulated 41 water barrels in Prenter that day, nearly one-third of the total. One speedy crew even insulated a barrel in only 11 minutes (trust me, that’s fast). Thanks so much to each and everyone of you for coming out on your day off to give us a hand. Thanks to Maria Lambert for a delicious, much needed lunch and to Savanna for getting this whole thing together.
