JOHN Hughes may well have been smiling last Tuesday. For one thing, he was right about the weather. Back in 2012, he did his research and found that this week was the week in Tully most likely to get through an entire day without rain, and in fact there was not even a hint of a rain cloud, just a bright blue sky the entire day. He also would have been impressed that not only has the tradition he started seven years
ago endured, the enthusiasm for it is as high as ever. Tully & District Chamber of Commerce, right on the heels of pulling off the exceptional Tame the Tully event, can proudly say it did just as well with this latest demonstration of how to coordinate such an event. In this case, specifically, members of the Read to Me Day Working Group were the people responsible, and there wasn’t a hitch in terms of the man-
agement and synchronisation. The roads were closed in time, the planning of what group of students were at what locations, making sure the readers were there was all handled impeccably. And at the end, there were sausages galore, there was Tom Moloney reciting poetry, and the Fire Department, the police, and ambulance services were there – vehicles and all – to entertain and educate the children.
