Happy Rain Day 2009!

Here in Washington, D.C., almost every day this summer has been a rain day.

But in Waynesburg, Pa., there’s only one Rain Day. And it was yesterday.

Rain Day is a Greene County, Pa., tradition dating back to July 29, 1876. All parts of life revolve around coal in Greene County, and folks in the area are proud of the rich heritage it has given them.

We weren’t around for the first Rain Day, but we participated in the celebration last year.

Take a look at the video we put together at Rain Day 2008.
