100,000 !!!! +++++

I’m proud to report that sometime while I was asleep Friday night, the number of views on our website, lakedarbonnelife.com went over the 100,000 mark! By today’s “viral” internet standards, that isn’t going to break any world records. But when it comes to a site about hunting and fishing in northeast Louisiana, begun right here in Union Parish, I’d say that’s mighty fine! There is no other site in the South that promotes a lake, a parish and a region’s outdoor resources exclusively like this one!

I hope you are regular reader and enjoy the site. We strive to make it informative and entertaining. If you’d like to follow it every day without having to go to it on the internet, you can subscribe, free of charge by simply clicking on the “subscribe” button at the top right of the home page.

And here’s one more very important thing: Please take time to stop by our sponsors and tell them you enjoy the page. Without them, we couldn’t bring this to you. If you don’t have time to drop by, drop them an email. Thanks in advance.

Sponsors for lakedarbonnelife.com are the Union Parish Tourist Commission, Preaus Ford, Lesters on the Lake, Eagle Point Boat & RV Storage, Wood Marine in Ruston, Union Sheriff Dusty Gates , the City of Farmerville, Eagle Point Subdivision and properties, B’n’M fishing poles and Ben Duty State Farm in West Monroe. Okay, enough tooting our own horn. But hey, if we don’t do it, who will? If you have a business or frequent one that would like to be a sponsor of the site, let us know at darbone1@gmail.com.

And by the way, that $100,000 bill . . .

Okay, there really WAS a $100,000 bill printed at one time and that is a picture of it. In 1934 Gold Certificate notes were printed featuring a portrait of Woodrow Wilson. The notes were printed from December 18, 1934, through January 9, 1935, and were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public. There are at least seven 1934 $100,000 Gold Certificates are still in existence and each is valued at $1.6 million. No, I don’t have one, but I do have three $2 bills and one $3 “Bill” (… with Bill Clinton’s picture on it. No. it is not a real bill).
