Thank You "Honor Roll" for Pier B cam replacement donations

Thank you to all the viewers who donated yesterday to the camera fundraiser.  It is simply amazing how much support there is for these cams. 

I can't thank you enough!

Den

Fundraiser starting tomorrow for new Pier B

Update: The fundraiser is complete with #3200 raised. This allowed me to order the new camera and also pay the sales tax.

Many thanks to the 82 people who donated, the cam viewers never cease to amaze me.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/13/2019 - Pier B cam is failing and has thankfully limped through the Tall Ships event.  The cam is 4 years old and is no longer supported my the manufacturer and I no longer can access the cam to change directions and I have already replace anything else that might be the problem.

I will be starting a new fundraiser tomorrow and will order the cam as soon as we have enough funds.

I appreciate all the your help and your support is why we have the best cams on the Great Lakes.

Our goal is $3000.

Thanks,
Den

Jeffery showing Wilber around the harbor - 081119

Hi, Jeffery here.  I can't believe all these boats came to Duluth just to feed us gulls -- fantastic summer so far.  Amelia is getting about more these days now that the little ones are learning to fly.

Wilber is my oldest son (this year) and will be stopping by in a minute.

Wilber here -- I love Duluth and will be flying more as soon as I pick up a pair of those cool aviation sunglasses.

I am learning the tricks of the trade from my dad and will soon have my own collection of shiny stuff.

That big yellow duck is kinda scary,  I bet he needs to eat allot. Well, plenty of snacks to go around.

Have a good visit!
