Glenn and family moved from Rolfe to Pocahontas last Fall. It is the next town west of us and about 20 min. away. There is a huge "statue"(?) of Pocahontas on the east edge of town. Legend has it that the princess guards the community and keeps it safe. There used to be a teepee by her but it was torn down. This Fall, the owner of Ewe Phoria Yarns, the yarn shop in town, solicited online help in keeping Pocahontas warm this winter. People from 21 U.S. states as well as 5 foreign countries made knitted swatches that were put together to make a 30 foot scarf for her. I think the scarf could've been wider really. She's going to need the scarf with the weather forecast for today: 1-3" of snow and it's 1 degree this morning, high to be 7.
