Fargo Shrine Circus Postponed to April 17-18-19,2009


El Zagal March 28th with dike in place. River at 40.8 feet.

Hopefully the Red River has crested in Fargo and we just need to continue to monitor our dike. The National Guard and City of Fargo has setup a command center at our Shine Center. Recorder Ken Maxson has done a great job of coordinating actives at the Shrine Center with the help of local Nobles and their Ladies to secure the building and feeding the National Guard and volunteers. We still need Nobles and their Ladies to volunteer to help at the Temple to man it over night and feed the Guard. We are cooking hot meals for the Guard and volunteers. As of Tuesday morning at 3:15 AM the river is at 38.39.
The Mayor this morning said the city will relax after the river goes below 38 feet and is still declining. Which is forecast for Thursday and by then the coming blizzard should be over.

Illustrious Sir Jay Buringrud and the El Zagal Divan thanks all the Nobles and their Ladies, the National Guard and the volunteers for helping during the flood in Fargo.
