Sun, 18 May 2008  Aqualand held a Pre-Season Party last night 3/17/08 for all of its Customers. The weather was beautiful and the sunset as you can see was breathtaking! There was a great rock and roll band, a Beer Truck & Grapes and Hops Bar & Bistro out of Flowery Branch had a wine tasting event. The party was well attended and many brought their folding chairs to sit and listen to the band.
The dockside grill was open and cooking their famous Dockside burgers, which your hosts enjoyed after the festivities. They were as awesome as we remembered them. We got together with some old friends of ours from ZD dock, it had been many years since we saw them, so the night was filled with old stories on the dock. Len Jernigan was hosting the event and was able to mingle with the majority of the customers to say hi and introduce himself, since he joined Aqualand just this past fall as their manager. We walked some of the docks and could see that several had been extended with new ramps so that most of the docks were in good deep water. One comment that our friend Larry Sosebee made was that this drought has actually improved the relationship amongst all boaters. In the past there was what you might call a rivalry between House Boaters and Sailors, but now they respect each others space and those around them, primarily because the are all in the "same boat" - pun intended with the low water issues. Larry said, he has seen a significant drop in fast racing boats across the water, people are being safe and driving slower and those who are not familiar with the lake are staying off of it, especially at night. We did see a wide range of age groups, lifestyles and personalities at the party and the one constant was they were all having FUN and very excited about the start of the new year at Aqualand. It was a long winter for us all and people are anxious to enjoy the water, relax and have fun! Don't forget to check out our interview with Len on our site www.lakefrontradio.com which was held on May 16, 2008. Have a great week everyone and be safe on the Lake! p.s. We highly recommend that you also listen to our DNR interview all about Boating Safety. Your Hosts-Chuck & Mary Thompson

Fri, 16 May 2008 NEWS RELEASE... The Corps of Engineers announced yesterday that the new Georgia Gun Bill signed into Law by the Governor does not apply to Corps Managed Lakes and Lands in Georgia. Corps Managed Property is regulated by the Code of Federal Regulations. Regulations governing possession of firearms specify that possession of loaded firearms, ammunition or loaded projectile firing devices is prohibited unless in the possession of federal, state or local law enforcement officers or when being used in compliance with hunting regulations. Consequently state carry permits issued to NON law enforcement officers are NOT valid on Corps Property.
