Welcome to Evan and Jennifer Walker - new minister and wife at Roxboro Presbyterian Church. We hate to see Dr. Effird go but know he will be back in our area from time-to-time. PERSONAL FAVORITE Have you been by Hyco Marina yet and tried their ice cream?? Well if you haven't make a point to go by and try it. If you like Banana Pudding, then try their Banana Ice cream with Vanilla wafers and bananas in it - gooood! Also they are very well stocked and have fresh meats and vegetables so stop in for a real treat. Need a boat for a day or weekend? Ask about their two rental pontoons. AT&T has upgraded their lake service to 4G so you zoom on the phone while on the boat! I've noticed a lot of May flies on some of the boat docks in spider webs. Try spraying with Suspend SC to control the spiders and bugs. http://www.amazon.com/Suspend-Insecticide-Roaches-Professional-Control/dp/B002Y57MGE Also stopped by the Roxboro Farmers Market on Depot Street in Uptown Roxboro Friday. They are really getting in a lot of vegetables now and corn maybe this week. Also fresh pies by the Horner's! Stop by six days a week just down from the Christian Help Center. If you live in the northern sections of Person County and do not get good cell coverage with Verizon, then fill out their form at this link: https://survey.verizonwireless.com/vzwsurvey/ ADVISORY Law officials have their Booze it and Loose it campaign on so don't drink and drive cars or boats!

The USGS webpage now shows you the elevation above sea level. 410.5 is normal level. You can now get a text message or email if the lake level is at a parameter you set. Ive set my notice to occur at 411.5 feet which is 1 foot above normal. This would be the time I need to remove stuff on the dock and make sure the boats are raised high enough to keep them on the lifts! See the link on the USGS site or click here.
