A rainy picnic The first night of the Steeleville Fourth of July celebration Monday was basically a washout. Some rides operated from time to time, but the rain and a temperature well below 70 degrees kept people away from the park. Above, Ashleigh Stegman of Steeleville protects herself with an umbrella as one of the rides sits idle. There was more rain Tuesday, but Thursday, July 4 is expected to be sunny and warm.
