This year, it's going to be more. I don't know how much more. I do know ... people are more excited than ever.

This is for a hundred years. It's going to be an old project. We're going to get through this just fine, and next year's going to be even better.

We can't imagine Mr. Spinks wanting to do anything that could be as potentially harmful to Ohio County culture and history as this. If we do receive official notice, then we will respond at that time.

We're simply asking, 'Hayward, are you going to give us a key to the gate?' and he won't tell us. Unfortunately the only way we can get him to talk is to file a legal action and get him to the table.

The land issue is solved for the time being. We have more camping and parking on the ridge than we've ever had.

It's going to be a wonderful four days. I'm looking forward to the positive spotlight that this will put the Monroe family and Ohio County in the world's eyes.
