Fun Fishing Industry Facts From Scott Memhard

In 1989 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 23,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry.

In 1998 Cape Pond Ice and the Railways sold 12,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry

In 2008 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 5500 tons of ice to the fishing industry.

People say that Cape Pond Ice is a vital part of the hub services for the fishing industry but Scott says that for him to continue he will need alternative supporting uses to continue to serve that very same industry.  He says he needs financially viable supporting uses outside of the fishing industry to keep it all going.

He would need to be able to diversify to keep things going but the people that want him to keep going are the same ones that may put him out of business by not allowing him to diversify.

How ironic is that?

There are a wide variety of Jesus heads down at Bob and Dave’s.  If you have a thing for Jesus heads, Bob and Dave’s is the place to go.

New Coral From Bob and Dave’s Finds It’s Home

We have a couple of these floor to ceiling bookcases which sat empty for 4 years or so.  We didn’t want to just fill it up with knick-knacky crap and have waited to put stuff we really dig.  So the coral I found the other day at Bob and Dave’s has found a new home on this shelf.
