Had a great time at the Jamestown Celebration. Very nice weekend but
we were a little surprised to see what we thought was a reduction in
attendance this year. The celebration is a great idea and we certainly encourage to keep the

hours and years the Hoover family had put into the production of the
event. Our thanks to them for all their efforts and to all the others that have worked over the years past and especially this year.
