Things are booming at the Hall this summer. So far, our museum admissions are keeping pace with last year - that's a very good thing. Due to the sudden abundance of rain this summer, our gardens and lawns are in full bloom and thriving quite nicely. Although they look nice every year, they are especially so this year. Visit us soon and see for yourself! Our Awards Committee will be holding its annual selection meeting for 2011 about the time you are reading this. It appears they will have a very talented and deserving group of men and women to review. The competition is going to be challenging. As the saying goes, "Many are called, but few are chosen." Good luck to all. Our inaugural spring Crappie Banquet and Crappie Contest events were very successful first efforts. I am very grateful to all those who helped out. Thank you. Plans are already being made for greater events in 2011. Put a circle on your calendar around the first weekend in June - details to follow. Our world records program continues to grow and prosper. Every time it appears a certain record has plateaued, an application comes in beating the benchmark. Of course I'm exagerating, but I am continually amazed at how many large fish are still being caught and how popular our program is. Your turn! Until the fall. Regards, Emmett A. Brown, Jr. Executive Director
