LAKE THOMPSON HISTORY AND STORIES....

The book  LAKE THOMPSON HISTORY AND STORIES  compiled by Frosty Smith  will be the main topic of our Dinner Meeting this year. It will also be your first chance to to get your hands on a copy as they will be available for the first time at the Annual Dinner Meeting for a cost of $20.50. You can reserve a copy and pick it up at the Dinner by contacting Frosty Smith at 715-369-0520. Frosty has also generously donated the proceeds of the book, after costs, to the Lake Thompson Association. So reserve your copy now and pick it up at the meeting, where you'll have a chance to comment with your neighbors about how funny they looked back in 1952, or be amazed at the picture of N. Shore Dr. back in 1904.

THE NEWS YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.....

Yes, the long awaited book about Lake Thompson will be availble at the Annual Dinner Meeting. Frosty will be selling them there first for $20.50 a copy, with two or more copies priced at $18.50 each. This will be your first chance to obtain a copy so make plans to attend the meeting. After the that date, the price will be $22.50 each with two or more copies at $20.00. The volume contains 196 pages with 77 pages of photos dating from 1904 to the present. I'll have more info later.

OFFICIAL ICE OUT

Yes, it is now official. The ice went out at 11:28 am on Monday March 29, 2010. SO this would mean that the Ice Out Contest is offically closed. I think Mother Nature does this just to make things difficult for me! Next year we'll have to rethink the deadline date since this has now happened twice within a few years. The weather has been unseasonably pleasant and the snow is pretty much gone except for where it was piled high.So time to think about reopening those places, raking the leaves, turning on the water, and all those other things you do to get ready for the season.

Ice Out Flyer

Sorry this is late getting up here, I've been a little busy and really could have used an assistant. Is there anyone out there that would like to apply? I'm currently having trouble with my database so if you did not get a flyer in the mail please let me know. Right now my database seems to be ejecting people at will. So I'm probably going to have to start a new one on different software....not looking forward to that. If you know of anyone that also didn't get a flyer pleases tell them to contact me or check the website. Hopefully we can get this resolved soon. Remember to just click on the flyer to enlarge it.
