Thanks to Mike Impero's sponsorship, Black Mountain
Forestry Center is home to the John McMeeken Riggin' Display.
On Saturday, April 15, 2000 Mike Impero, Bob Wiesen, Harlen Kelly
and Joe Heller went to Aberdeen, Washington to gather up and catalog
all of the items. It was a major undertaking! They started work
at 3:00 AM and finished past midnight.
