The Gary Hayes family will long remember the date of July 23. As it was on that date last year that the rains flooded their farm field causing a loss of crops. Exactly one year later on this Monday, July 23, the Hayes lost their barn, silo, milkhouse, hay, straw and pigs in one of the largest fires in this area this year.
