Here are some pictures of the bill signing at Walls, Mississippi on September 6. Donna Mabus took these pictures.  About 150 DeSoto Countians attended the ceremony.  I asked one of  the developers and the construction manager when we might be walking onto the theme park.  They said if all went well 18-24 months.  If there were some unforeseen delays, 24-36 months.  In addition, a company specializing in theme park construction will be doing the work.

They are also negotiating with a brand name company for doing the aquarium.

Double click for a larger picture.  It's a fairly good size file.  The governor is handing one of the pens used in the signing to Bill Phillips, president of the development company.

The governor is signing the bill.  I suppose this one should have been on top. About an hour after putting these pictures up, it dawned on me that the governor was signing parts of his name and then presenting the pen to those behind him.  So....they are in the correct order.  My brain was just not engaged at the time I was writing the first sentence of this paragraph.
