Due to years of layoffs, employment cuts and the unstable economy our resources to keep our lake facility in order have been affected. The Board has researched other avenues to repair existing conditions around the lake rather than raising the dues. As this event is a fundraiser, with the money to go towards repairing the docks around the lake and other areas of concern. We will be open to the public during the hours of the event only.
