Of course, you already knew it would rain.

Thursday we told you about that morning’s third annual “Rock and Chalk” happening on the sidewalks of downtown Ellis.

Public Library Director Steve Arthur noted proudly that it has rained the past two years shortly after the chalk artists had their fun.

And yes, as you can see by the library sign, the rain streak continues for the third consecutive year.

Rainfall amounts:  Ellis-1.90″; Hays-2.37″.
