FryLake

Dave and I were privileged to have been able to sit down with “Mom” and Bill Fry. They came over and filled us in on some more of the history of Fry Lake! We enjoyed hearing the stories of how Mr. Fry purchased the property and the reality of seeing it come to be the local swimming area. Bill told us the story of how he helped put the 30 ft. diving board together, but then once it was done, he never did jump off it. Sounds smart to me!!! Mom Fry told us how she used to work in the concession stand and would make lots and lots of sno-cones. We enjoyed meeting and getting to know both of them! Thanks you guys for taking the time to come over and fill us in on this piece of property. We were able to get a few pictures of them. Norma - you skated on the pictures! You’ll have to come back over so we can get a picture of you at Fry Lake! Oneita, we are looking forward to meeting you in September!

Dave and I really enjoyed being able to sit down and talk to Norma Gillespie about Fry Lake. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fry who used to own this place. Norma gave us some of the history and brought some pictures and newspaper articles that she is allowing us to copy. We are hoping to talk to one of her brothers that lives around here and also to her mom. We will update the history of this place on our history page as we get details. Thanks Norma for taking time out to share about Fry Lake with us. We really enjoyed meeting you and learning more about Fry Lake!!!

We arrived at Fry Lake in July 2006 with our dog Angel. Dave can really stack the stuff in the back of a pickup truck! No rocking chair on the top, but he did manage to get his motorcycle in. Lots of riding space where we are! It was a long trip with 3 blown tires. I followed along in our Highlander with 2 dogs and 2 cats! Boy were they glad to finally get out of the car. We are waiting for the rest of our stuff to show up. We are excited to see how God will use this incredible piece of property He so graciously gave to us.
