Day 368
Day 368 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has found her weeks unaccountably full. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
07:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
08:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
09:00June Ellery noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
10:00June Ellery called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
11:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
12:00A seagull has stolen Lark Ferris's sandwich near the dock. Again.
13:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.

14:08The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season.
14:08Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
14:08And so concludes: The Great Kite-Flying Rivalry. The town will live with how it ended.
17:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
20:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
20:17Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
20:33Gus Tidewater is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
