The area is active with many things to do this weekend around Hyco Lake. First, there is a festival in Uptown Roxboro - Personality Uptown has something for everyone. The Castaway's are playing at Merritt Commons on main street tonight (Friday) with a wood dance floor available for you shaggers from 7 to 11. There are also many food vendors and a beer garden. On Saturday, there are activities and rides all day along with information booths. For more information and the schedule, see this link: http://www.roxboronc.com/pdf/Personality%20Uptown%20Poster07.pdf

We are also happy to announce that a new tenant will take over the old Farmer's Supply Restaurant in Uptown Roxboro. Vesuvio's II will be opening in the space where Farmer's Supply recently operated. For more information, see this press release: http://www.historicroxboro.com/Farmers%20Supply%20Sold.pdf

The Danville Fair is also popular for lake goers - the fair runs from Friday Sept 14 thru Saturday Sept. 22 with big names such as Clarance Carter and Trent Tomlinson performing. Come on out to a good ol' local fair. More information and schedule at this link: http://www.dpcfairgrounds.com/Fair.html

You are aware that the Hyco Lake level is low due to the recent drought. Be careful when boating due to stumps and hidden land masses being hazardous to your boat and prop. Stay away from gentle slopping areas as they tend to indicate shallow water nearby. Normal water level is 10.6 on the USGS gauging station and currently it is reading 7.85 which means the lake is down almost 3 feet. See the graph at this link: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nc/nwis/uv/?site_no=02077280&agency_cd=USGS

AT&T (Cingular) and US Cellular are still looking at possibly expanding cell service to Hyco Lake. As soon as we have an update, we will post it on our web site and email you. www.hycolake.com
