Re: Lucas Mill Demo in the Baton Rouge Area
Dear friends,
Bailey's cordially invites you to a Lucas Mill Demonstration Weekend in the Baton Rouge area on January 27th and 28th.

Peter Foster from Lucas Mills will be traveling all the way from their Australian headquarters to oversee the demonstration, and show off the latest sawmilling techniques and blade re-tipping technology.

Update from Louisiana
Baileys and Lucas International would like to thank all who came to the diminstration today in Slaughter, La. A special thanks to Mr. Starks for all of his efforts in making everything run so smoothly and to those who brought the logs. Also, we would like to thank the local paper and the news cast for their support. They will be running tomorrow between 9 and 4 (check previous post for directions) if anyone missed out.
See the local paper's story on the demo. Made the mistake of trying to house hunt before going to the demo and missed it.

Good article, wish I could have been there. I love them mudpuppies. I think it's about a month or more before their really in season. Made trip down there last March and picked up 65 lbs. in two bags. Iced em and hauled back to Memphis. Boiled and snapped the tails off what I didn't eat with taters, onion, corn and boil before midnight.
Chris, the crawdaddys are available now but at about 3 bucks a pound. About 3 times what they normally go for already boiled. The storms last summer did some harm to the crawfish habitats. Not so much to the crawfish themselves but the salt water has damaged the plant life and such that they live on.
Kinda like gasoline though, whatever the cost, we gonna pay it cause its a necessity!
