When I first ran for School Board in 1991, four of us candidates (me, Farmer, Kaari and Harp) went in together on lawn signs. It was still the day of the old 2x4 plywood, paste and paper affairs hung on rebar. Our signs were loud red, white and blue things, hung vertically on 8 ft. lengths of rebar
so that all four names were clearly visible. Well, the great Halloween Blizzard of 1991 hit just days before the election and our 4ft tall signs were lost in huge drifts of snow all across town, frozen solid as cement. It would have taken teams of augers to dig the miserable signs out. No one could get them out. We were unable to retrieve them until the spring thaw when they began popping up like crocuses. It was awful.
