PAST WEEKEND PHOTOS
DAM. ABOVE, J.C. AND DARLENE COX. A COUPLE-OR-MORE YEARS AGO, THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AT LAKEHURST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. TO THE UPPER RIGHT, ALONG THE CLIFF, FOR MANY YEARS WAS THE HOME OF POST 75 AMERICAN LEGION (THEY BUILDT IT) AND THEN LATER IT WAS MADE INTO THE LAKEHURST SUPPER CLUB. RED HENTON AND HIS
FAMILY RAN IT FOR AWHILE. THEN IN THE 80'S IT HAD A FIRE THAT BURNED IT TO THE GROUND. THE DEBRIS STAYED THERE UNTIL J.C. BOUGHT IT
AND CLEANED IT UP. NOW, THE BASEMENT IS STILL THERE, THERE IS
A NEW SEWER SYSTEM, THE PART YOU SEE ABOVE IS AN OPEN-AIR
GATHERING PLACE THE CAN BE RENTED FOR PARTIES. IT HAS TWO LARGE
NEW RESTROOMS AND IT OVERLOOKS THE MAQUOKETA RIVER.

NOW, ROOM FOR 7 AND MORE WILL BE MADE LATER. ALL 7 ARE RESERVED
FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
