The Grand Opening for Stronghold was held on July 21, 2007 from 11-4. The weather was beautiful. About 75 people attended the festivities which included a cookout, face painting, balloon animals, boat rides down at the lake and a tour of the newly finished cabin and garden area. We want to thank everyone who helped make this dream of ours a reality, and also in organizing and participating in the Grand Opening.
GO MT BLUE COUGARS!!
On August 18, 2007 about 30 members of the Mt Blue football team and some parents came over to "Stronghold" to do some work on the property. Since the land used to be a pasture, there was plenty of barbed wire and old fencing which needed to be removed. The team did a fine job and also removed brush and wood that had previously been cut down.
