Save The Stack For The 4th Of July!

What a great weekend. This weekend marked the kick off for the Summer of the stack. This weekend alone over $20,000 was raised. Displays and brochures were put in place. And.. drum roll please.. The stack was lit up for the world to see, even at night.

We also did not miss a beat at the big parade. See image here.

A huge standing ovation to all that put in the extra effort. It was worth it.. And to think.. All you need to do is read this with your new Save the Stack coffee cup full of some Joe...and write a check...

Thanks For Saving An Icon Of The Chesapeake Bay

Reedville's symbol of its rich menhaden fishing heritage The 130 foot tall stack was built circa 1902, The Stack has served as a navigational landmark for working watermen and boaters but also as a welcoming beacon to the historic town of Reedville and surrounding areas. The Stack was built by the Morris - Fisher Company to provide steam to power its fish processing operations. This Company was likely the largest and most efficient of all the factories at that time. The success of the company was demonstrated by the construction of this majestic stack.

Having withstood storms and fires the stack and years of neglect and the wear from Mother Nature. The Community and Omega Protein, Inc. have raised the funds needed and the stack is back now as an symbol celebrating the areas rich culture. Ownership of the stack and land will be transferred to the Greater Reedville Association.
