Hole-In-One Club
Congratulations to Mr. Arnie Galbraith who hit a hole-in-one on the 6th hole of the Huletts Golf Course on Thursday.
Mr. Galbraith was playing in the men’s tournament and had a number of witnesses to his feat!!
He used a 5 wood and according to Arnie his first reaction was disbelief. “People my age don’t expect these kinds of things, especially on the golf course. But we can always hope! My second reaction was a smile big enough to split my face in two!”
Congratulations to Mr. Galbraith on his accomplishment. He is now a member of a very exclusive club!
Soda Fountain Launches New T-Shirts
Two new t-shirts for 2013 are being offered for sale in the soda fountain this summer. The soda fountain is now open for the summer.
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Luke Smith

Congratulations to Luke Smith and Melissa Donaldson who were married on Saturday at the Whitehall Athletic Club.
Many relatives and friends of the large Smith and Donaldson families were able to attend. The happy couple exchanged their vows from the balcony overlooking the main hall of the Whitehall Athletic Club and a lively and fun reception followed. The dance floor was filled with members of the bridal party, family and friends.
The sun shined brightly throughout the afternoon and the after-party continued into the night at the Huletts Casino where the couple made a spectacular entrance by golf cart.
Many wishes for a happy and healthy future go out to the Smith’s as they continue their lives together.

Berry/Clayton Wedding Takes Place in Huletts
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clayton arrive at the Huletts Casino for their reception after getting married in the Mountain Grove Memorial Church on Saturday.
Sometimes dreams do come true.
Growing up, Annie Berry always wanted to get married in Huletts. Well that’s what happened on Saturday as she and Tommy Clayton were married in the Mountain Grove Memorial Church. Helen Marie Sunkenberg officiated at the wedding ceremony and the reception followed in the Casino.
It was a joyous ceremony and lively reception. The band “Grand Central Station” delighted the crowd throughout the evening and the bride’s entire family did a patriotic rendition of the song, God Bless America.
It was a day of family, friends, good times, and a lot of love. It was a Huletts day through and through.
The bride’s parents, Ann and Doug Berry, rejoice in their daughter’s big day.
The bride’s grandfather, Bill Harriman, stands with a guest during the reception.
Guests enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
A fun reminder at the entrance of the Casino.
The inside of the Casino was decorated to perfection.
Some of the “flowers” were made out of colored paper.
A fun idea: leave a thumbprint and your name on the “guest” tree.
Flip-flops kept the dance party going.
The band, Grand Central Station, rocked the crowd.
The “Just Married” golf cart, the only way to travel in Huletts.

Spruce Mountain Views
A picture from Spruce Mountain looking south across the lake. Huletts Landing is on the left.
Huletts Current reader, Sam Knaus, emailed me these pictures from a hike he took up Spruce Mountain earlier this week. While Black Mountain is perhaps better known, Spruce Mountain also offers some spectacular views of Lake George. Sam hiked up with his two young sons, who when asked what the best part of the hike was, answered in unison: “the views!”
Many thanks to Sam for submitting these spectacular shots.
