Meeting
with Corps of Engineers Officials
(L to R) Hickman-Fulton County Riverport Director Doug Goodman, Chamber of Commerce Director "Baby Doll" Yarbro, Memphis Corps of Engineers representatives Dennis Abernathy and Larry Sharpe, along with HRTCC Chairman Charles Choate.
A meeting was held at the Hickman Riverport office to discuss a pending project of enhancement to the Hickman Harbor and flood wall. Corps of Engineers officials presented designs and costs analysis of the proposed project. Included in the project is a walkway atop the entire length of the Hickman flood wall, a new boat ramp at Elvis J. Stahr Jr. Harbor, three handicap lifts and other enhancements. Also attending the meeting were representatives of the City of Hickman, Fulton County Fiscal Court, and Hickman Boating Club members, Vercel Bryant and Glen Jones. It is hoped that funds can be obtained to make this project a reality in the not too distant future. The Corps will have to receive approval and cost sharing and a project of this magnitude will probably not get funded in the very near future.

Carnegie Pavilion
The new Carnegie Pavilion is in place on "The Bluff" behind the Hickman Chamber of Commerce office, the Hickman Public Library and east of the Harold "Red" Coffey Memorial Park. The Pavilion is a great place to sit and read a book, have lunch, hold family events, or just enjoy the beautiful view. The public is encouraged to come by and visit the area and enjoy this new feature in our community. The Pavilion was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hickman. The G. O. L. D. grant was executed by Martha Campbell, Director of the Community Development Department. Her expertise and experience were vital for the final appearance of this picturesque addition to the bluff area Much of the labor and materials were donated by local businesses and the inmates at the Fulton County Detention Center, Rick Parnell, Jailer.

This picture taken in 1918 is an incredible sight of 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, Iowa. It's amazing! What a priceless gift from our forefathers.
