Austin Bantam Society Trophy Meet

The Austin Bantam Society is having its 40th annual trophy meet October 8th through the 11th in beatiful Boulder City, Nevada. These little cars were America's first economy car. The company also invented the Jeep.

There will be a car show at Wilbur Square this Saturday, October 11th (My father in-law will have his car out there on display). For local information about the event, call Mark at 293-1913.

Union Park going forward

Despite the cooling down of the real estate market, the 61 acre Union Park development is going forward. Construction has commenced on the Lou Ruvo Brain Center, one of the hallmark buildings in the development. Not everything is coming up roses. The World Jewelry center opening has been pushed back a year, but they are still planning on luxury condos at this time. Other projects in Union Park include a Charlie Palmer hotel and the Smith center for the Performing Arts.

Fishing at the lake

When people think of Las Vegas, they naturally think of the desert. It's only natural and with the lack of rain, water conservation is always paramount especially in the summer months. So what can you do to escape the heat? Head out to Lake Mead of course! Lake Mead has dropped several feet in the last couple of years, so if you are looking for some good fishing spots, you'll need a boat. One of my favorite places to go is South Cove, a great place to catch Bluegill, Crappie and Large mount Bass. If you drive across the dam to the Arizona side, you can fish for Rainbow Trout below Hoover Dam (its restocked annually).

I was talking to a friend of mine that lives in Yantis, Texas. We were talking about various fishing techniques for Bass. He fishes in Lake Fork for Big Mouth Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. We ended up comparing various lures and talking about the biggest fish we've pulled from our respective lakes (of course there was no exaggeration!).

So the next time you are looking for something to do this summer, take a short drive down to Lake Mead. -Charles
