Reputable Ruin

Hello! I'm Ed Briggs. Preacher Briggs to the locals. While visiting for the holidays, you should stop by Graceful Foundations Baptist Church. We pride ourselves on being the heart of the local community.

The original settlement was a humble hunting camp on the east side of the lake. Two hundred years later, Lake Pones has a beautiful downtown, marina, and a wonderful collection of family-owned businesses to explore.

Burney's Outdoor Wonders is the newest addition to our downtown list of shops. For our returning visitors, Burney's is where Scoop of Sunshine Ice Cream Parlor resided until earlier this year. Before that, the Wilson family had delighted visitors for three generations.

Last year changed so many things.

It started on a Saturday, with a bag of candy and an empty vial. I was only involved at the end, but I'll let them tell you about the days leading up to Lake Pones' first murder trial.
