Boardwalk Opening Ceremony - 3/13/2010

Saturday, March 13, was pretty chilly and gloomy. But that did not deter the crowd that turned out at the Norfork National Fish Hatchery for the opening of the new boardwalk and fishing platforms. The ceremony was brief. A few words from Davy Wotton, President of the Friends of the Norfork National Fish Hatchery, and from Ken Boyles, recently retired manager of the hatchery.  And some words of gratitude from the three mobility impaired anglers who were able to attend the ceremony. But the talking was kept short and everyone soon moved down to the fishing platforms. Fish on! (click on images for full sized view)
