Thank you Chris and Jennie and the prize donors (Lakesonline (Bruce), Linda Anchor Bay Marina, Kim at The Garden Center, and Sunflower waste for dumpster, sorry if I missed others). It was a fun event and great company. Thanks for giving to our community.

I hope you make this an annual event Chris. Everyone put a good dent into filling up the huge dumpster and hopefully next time it will be overflowing. Amazing what people leave on the shorelines. I won't mention the item that won the "most unusual" find because children read the forum. Lets just say that some people may have one hidden under the mattress and it required batteries ;-0

Yes, very good to meet you as well. We looked up the stone bridge you mentioned and if the weather is clear we will go there tomorrow. Can't believe we had never heard about it after all these years.

See ya around the lake!

Just going by memory (and I am bad at names);

Largest garbage was a huge tore up tarp (that could have covered a battleship)
Most garbage was quite a few garbage bags full of broken glass, bottles, metal, cans, grill parts etc...
Most unique garbage was something one might buy in an adult store, and awkward to explain if a child would have found it.

Included also was the usual trash, beer/soda cans, Styrofoam off floating docks, a couple of rusty old grills, dock wood with plenty of rusty nails etc...

If this event saved anyone stitches in the foot or tetanus (which I am sure it must have judging the amount of broken glass & rusty metal found) than IMHO it was very worthwhile.

Prizes included Tommy Bahama rum, fishing poles, nice custom fish glass vase, bumpers, hats, t-shirts, lunch and donuts for participants and I am sure I may have missed some things.

The prizes, food, etc..were very generous indeed but I am sure most will agree that it was about supporting the Lake Martin community and getting together for some great camaraderie. I am not usually the type to do events like this but will participate from now on.

Thank you so much for doing this for our beautiful lake! John and I (Seasons in the Sun) were not able to participate either because we are in the middle of moving our business, school startin back for me, and a brand new grandaughter making her debut but will definately be there next year! Such a great community service. We are almost moved completely. Please come by and visit us at our new home 67 Red Hill Road (across from Mitchell Marine)
