Continue to visit Lake Wedowee while the weather is nice

Kelly Caldwell — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:10:00 GMT

Well if you have noticed, we have entered into the last days of summer... Some children have already started back to school and more will start in the coming days. But, that's not to say you can't still enjoy Lake Wedowee. The locals know that this is one of the best times of year to be on the lake because the summer traffic is starting to dwindle and mother nature has played her part in keeping the lake level in good shape. We are currently at 790.13 which is still more water in the lake...(read more)

"Trying" to sell Lake Wedowee Real Estate

Leisel Caldwell — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:35:00 GMT

by: Kelly Caldwell Have you looked at real estate in Wedowee lately? Well, let me tell you there is a lot to choose from. I looked on www.ezmls.com today and there are more than 600 listings being advertised for sale in Wedowee. I would be willing to bet more than 95 percent of those are considered lake property in some shape, form or fashion. It seems like everyone is "trying" to sell their lake property.

Interesting developments in state legislature

Kelly Caldwell — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 13:35:00 GMT

I was surfing the net today and found and interesting vote reported on al.com . It seems the Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill yesterday that would allow for towns of any size to vote itself wet. For Wedowee, this turn of events could be huge!! Granted, it is still a far way from becoming law but it is a great first step. The measure passed, 46 to 38 but what was interesting is our state representative was passionately against the bill according to the article on al.com. How it stands...(read more)
