Rain fails to dampen Skunk Run profits at Ottawa event
Despite steady rains from midafternoon, the 17th annual Skunk Run Day at City Park drew near record crowds and posted almost $10,000 in receipts. Organizers cited 19 states and France for the Ottawa Quilters Guild show, with 576 book buyers, while the Friends of the Ottawa Library netted about $5,800. Additional fundraisers including plant sales, Kid Stuf activities, and sculpture ballots boosted totals, with “Buffalo Woman” winning the top sculpture prize from 665 voters.
