The D.C. Booth Historic Fish Hatchery

So I realized while I was strolling around the site today during a wedding rehearsal that I have done loads of gabbing about the fish hatchery that I am working at this summer but have not actually put pictures up of it! It is truly a beautiful area and goes way beyond raising fish, even though most of my friends still don't believe that : )

As I have mentioned before, my favorite part of my job is doing the wedding coordination. Basically all this entails is meeting with the bride during the rehearsal and then the morning of the wedding setting up all the white chairs, cleaning the bridal changing area, sitting on the deck of the over-century-old Booth house and then snooping through the house's kitchen windows to watch the wedding. I usually call my friend, Abbie and give her all the details on the bride's dress and the bridesmaid dresses. All in all it's a great gig. Here are some photos of Ruby's Garden where all the weddings take place.
