Steeple Chase
The Catholic church has had a crane in town all month, fixing the leaks in the steeple, as well as replacing the cross on the top that had rusted out. Bill Snow is the guy bravely doing the work. I talked to him about getting some pictures from up there. The top of the steeple is 140 feet high and the crane can go 10 feet higher than that. They replaced the old cross with a new one that they estimated was the same size, but on getting up there with the crane, they found the old one was only 4 feet high. They built the new one 8 feet tall, so they ended up having to rebuild the supports to hold it.
