ADVISORY – The Person-Caswell Lake Authority reminds you to pick up your new boat dock tag at the office.  All docks have been reassigned new numbers so you’ll have to get the new tag and put it up.  West and Woodall has volunteered to go get your tag and put it up if you can’t get up here soon to do it or if you don’t have the means to mount the tag.  It is suppose to be located in a place that can be viewed from the water.  Call or contact West and Woodall at: (336)322-5800 or email to: whit@westandwoodall.com  Thanks West and Woodall for providing this as a service to the Hyco community! The numbering system use the logic of starting at the North Hyco Hwy 57 bridge going counterclockwise around the shoreline and ending up back at the bridge so if you are near St. Georges, your number may be single digits and if near Tommy Middleton, then 2400 or so.
