At the time of the incident, the weather was sunny with an air temperature of 78 degrees and a humidity of 58 percent. The child was uninjured and returned to his parents.

During a windstorm in 2008, the Pewee Valley’s Masonic Lodge’s emblem blew off of the Little Colonel Playhouse.

Masonic members Gene Crady and Kevin Reardon searched through the rubble for their fraternity’s symbolic emblem, but could not find it.  

When Crady and Reardon later found out that The Little Colonel Playhouse was going to be on the National Register of Historic Places, they wanted to be part of it since it was originally their lodge.
