That is an EXCELLENT idea!
We recently heard a story about a villager who was bitten by a mosquito in November, got infected with the West Nile Virus, and died a short time later.
The man had played golf at Fenney, had dinner at the grill, and was sitting around the fire pit behind the Fenney visitor center. It sounds like a wonderful way to spend a nice evening with your friends, but a swarm of mosquitoes came out of the marsh and started biting them.
We always carry sunscreen in our cars, so now we will also carry bug repellent.
