Harry Jemison has been serving the public at his location for over 20 years selling bait and tackle and food drinks and ice. The county has decided to not renew his lease and create a public park at his location. By signing this petition you state that you want Jemisons to stay at the current location and you do not want Jemisons bait shop to close. You also state that you would not be better served by a public park or county run organization at this location.
I have been reviewing the testimonials left on this page and feel encouraged by the shared history regarding this local landmark. My focus has now shifted toward drafting a formal request for a meeting with the county commissioners to discuss alternatives to their current plan.

Harry is a staple in this town. We dont need another empty park that ends up full of trash. Leave the man alone.

Please dont let them shut this shop down. Harry is the nicest guy and he always helps the beginners figure out what gear they need.
