Five Inches of Rain Sells for $850 at the St. John Picnic

Auctioneer Joe Orsak calls out the bids for an unusual item in the auction at the St. John Picnic last Thursday: a rain gauge with five inches of rain. The St. John pastor, Monsignor John Peters, donated the item. Peters said he prayed for rain and predicted five inches would fall this month for the winning bidder. The rain sold for $850.
