Jenny Yurechko is the winner!
We ended up with 9.61” monsoon total!!! The average for July was 1.81″ with decent rain but only the last two weeks of July. The average for August was only .99″ on a month which is normally our wettest. Then September came along and said, “Watch this!” and posted an average of 6.81″! That is just over our entire monsoon average for three months!
Jenny Yurechko had a guess of 9.54” and is the Winner!
Jenny will receive a Springs Resort General Admission Membership for a year! It includes:
- Enjoy unlimited soaking 7 days a week and exclusive early access from 8–9:00 am in their 25 hot spring soaking pools.
- Access to 20 pools + 5 VIP adult-only pools

We’ll have the O’Neal Park two feet of SNOW contest out mid month for a gift certificate to Alley House! We didn’t have a winner the last two years. Will we finally see a few feet of snow on the ground this year? Good luck to everyone!
The Contest
