Come show your support for Oneonta World of Learning (OWL), by marching in the parade. Some parents are decorating their kids' wagons and bicycles, and a few people will be needed to help carry signs, but most of all, it would be great to muster as much support as we can for this event.
The parade is Saturday October 4th at 4:30pm. However, they are asking participants to gather with their floats inside Neahwa Park between 3 and 4 pm to give them time to line us up. Non-parade vehicles are asked to park outside the park. We are in section 2, number 23, between The Reminiscers Car Club and the Red Cross (look for the giant owl). The Centennial Website has more info, including where to view the parade on TV.

A peek at the OWL:
Thanks to all of the many helpers who volunteered time and brought materials this week to bring our owl to life.
Happy birthday--home alone...
It came on suddenly. My almost-two-year old was happy and playful when we left home, but on arrival at a friend's house, he refused to play, didn't want snacks and wouldn't leave mommy's side. Within an hour, he was running a fever. The next day, he was fine again, but big brother began to run an even higher fever... following a throat swab, the pediatrician proclaimed that the boys were contagious--a viral illness for which time is the only treatment. So much for our boy's big second birthday party!!!
So just how do you decide when to keep your kids under quarantine? With cold symptoms, "If there's no fever, it's generally OK to send the child to school," according to an article on WebMD. (I really should have taken the kids right back home.)
However, if there is a bad cough, severe sore throat, diarrhea or vomiting, keep your child at home. He or she may need to see the doctor. With an earache, your child may not need to stay home, but should definitely be evaluated by a pediatrician. Keep kids with pink eye home (please!). But if your child has a rash, only a doctor can determine if it is caused by something contagious.
When in doubt, call your pediatrician. Mine told me to offer lots of fluids and maybe an icy pop in addition to the fever reducing medicine that was recommended. The only remaining question was entirely up to me. Do sick kids get to watch cartoons?
