We had a wonderful weekend visit from Grandson Paul, taking a break from conquering Queens University in Charlotte. We fished Sunday but had no luck. A couple of strikes but no fish in the boat. He fished 'till dark on the dock using night crawlers. They got nibbled by little guys but again he had no luck.
The Red Hot Fire Sale on Saturday for the Mill Spring Volunteer Fire Department was a roaring success. The day raised right at $3,000 to put toward the purchase of "Jaws of Life" rescue tools. A full set of these tools costs about $25,000. So far the department has raised about $17,000 through fund raisers and with a $12,000 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation. The fire sale was the brainchild of Carolyn Cobb, president of the Lake Adger Garden Club. A nice side benefit was seeing the people from the larger community meeting and talking with folks from the Lake Adger community. Jamie Davidson, another Lake Adger neighbor who heads the fire department auxiliary, handled the organizational details.
