Heidi Wilkins and the Jetts Hardware Team Know How to Support the Stack !!

If you ask Heidi Wilkins if she wants to see our stack stay around for another 100 years and there is not a pause in her voice when she responds with “you better believe I do !!”. Heidi not only talks the talk, she walks the talk too. Throughout the summer Heidi has featured comments about saving the stack on her roadside marquee in front of Jetts Hardware Store which she owns. She also quickly volunteered to sell Woodstack tickets. She also readily agreed to let us put a business donation display in the front of her store. Heidi did not stop there. For the months of July and August Heidi donated a percentage of her tackle sales to Save the Stack. A few weeks ago Heidi showed up with a check for $2500 !!! All we can say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Heidi. You are making a difference in our cause !! This is Heidi Wilkins and this is her Stack Story.

Work Moves Forward To Save The Stack!

Gulp!
If you were out on the water this weekend, you not only had spectacular weather, and post card skies.. But you also noticed that the stack is now covered in scaffolding. This move needed to get done. With bricks falling now at an alarming rate, the Save The Stack Committee voted to move forward. We still need funds. So please. We are close.. But still no cigar.  If you ever wondered what it takes to put scaffolding up a stack like that.. Here are some images.

All the way to the top
