Church.

If it was your duty to deliver the Des Moines Register,
the
Ames Tribune, and the South Hamilton Record News during
the wet days of 1993, what could you do? Instead of delaying
what folks expected at their door, you could just deliver by canoe!
Sara and Wayne are pictured doing that in this photo.
This image shows the Skunk River, heading South from
the Highway 175 bridge.

1994 - Art Show in the Library
This shows someone coming out of the Ellsworth Library.
If you don't need to check out a book, can you check
out a canoe?
When Sara Spohnheimer was ready to complete her senior
year at South Hamilton High School, she had her senior art show in the
Ellsworth Library. She displayed much of her art work there, including
this canoe, because she had painted an image on one side. Because
dad's canoe was named
Colorado Scorpion, she had painted a scorpion
near the front on one side.
