PERSONAL FAVORITE –   Clay Tuck says all I talk about under this heading is eating out so this week I thought I would highlight something else!  We had a Pig Picking for my niece Laura King who is getting married at the Mayo Environmental and Education Facility at Mayo Park.  If you haven’t been there, you should visit Mayo.  They have an excellent facility and rent it out.  Everyone in attendance was impressed with the scenic setting and very nice facility. It is managed by Person County so you contact Parks and Rec. for rental.

ADVISORY – The NC Wildlife Officers are expected to be out in force this weekend on the lake.  If you drink, be sure to have a designated driver or your fun may turn sour real fast!  There were many complaints last year about the frequency of “safety checks” made by the Wildlife Officers.  To help you remember everything you need prior to be stopped, you can download and print this checklist form made just for Hyco.  Click here.

 

If you are a leaseholder on Hyco Lake, you should have received a notice that your dock plate needs to be up by June 1, 2011.  This notice went to all leaseholders so don’t panic if yours is up!  If yours is not up, then after June 1^st your dock will be recorded and then if the plate is not up by July 1, 2011 you will be assessed a penalty of $100 payable upon notice.  Whit Wyant of West and Woodall volunteered to install these for you free some time ago so there’s no excuse for not having them up.  Whit is willing to continue installing these but he can’t do it until after June 1^st due to schedule conflicts.  If you want Whit to help you out, contact him at West and Woodall by calling 336.583-9668

 

We have one reader with a pontoon boat for rent.  We get several inquiries each year from people desiring to rent a pontoon boat for the week or weekend.  We also added this to our database of services so you can search using “rental” on this page http://www.hycolake.com/ServiceListing.aspx and you will get a list of all the rentals including this pontoon boat.

     $200.00 a day with a $400.00 deposit

      if rented for the weekend it would equate to $150.00 a day

      call James Pleasants at 336-234-9595 with all inquiries.
