With most downtown Fourth of July festivities canceled due to rain, Hank and Lane Harvey found comfort in ice cream.The twins scarfed down cups of homemade ice cream Saturday morning at the Farmers Market, with the tasty treat serving as a balm to cover the scab of another rained-out July 4 celebration. It’s the second time in three years most downtown events have been canceled due to rain.One of the exceptions was the annual pancake breakfast organized by First United Methodist Church. With storm clouds looming all weekend, church officials made the call Friday to move the pancake breakfast under roof at the church.“When we started at 7 a.m., we didn’t think anyone would show up,” said volunteer Marsha Newman.
