Edmunds County Tribune -

Congratulations to the Ipswich track and field team for winning the Combined Girls and Boys State Championship in Class B at Sioux Falls last weekend and also good luck to the Edmunds Central and Ipswich golfers who will be attending their state meet in Yankton on June 3-4.

Some people say that if it rains on Memorial Day, that will guarantee a wet summer, but we got only very light rain in the morning and after that, none at all, so I guess the jury is still out on that one. But it sort of falls into the category of weather-related folk lore that may or may not be true. Like Ground Hogs Day or how many days after a heavy fog will we have rain.

A couple of recent weather systems mostly stayed in the western part of the state and I guess that's OK for now at least. Nobody is complaining at this point in time, especially our sump pump that needs to take a break.
