Well, it's done for another year. The turnout was great considering what the weather was supposed to be doing. It didn't rain a drop on us. A good time was had by all and as usual, I ate too many hot dogs. We put on a search and recovery demo. Commissioner Karen Mahurin was in attendance and assisted with the "operation". The Woodstock P.D. had personnel in the water conducting water safety instruction for the smaller ones, the Cherokee County S.O. was represented by a member of their K-9 unit, the Explorers and Reserve Deputies. There were vehicles from the Fire & Emergency Services, the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Team. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources had an Officer showing off some of our local residents (see the pics). Representatives from the Corps of Engineers were present. It was a wonderful day. Thanx to those who attended, sorry for those who couldn't. Here's a link for some pictures.
