Caution urged as boating season begins

Loudon County Mayor Rollen “Buddy” Bradshaw signed a proclamation supporting the goals of the North American Safe Boating Campaign Wednesday with the support of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Tellico Lake 12-2. The document also proclaims May 20-26 as National Safe Boating Week in line with the national effort for awareness.
