Good Morning!
Alright, a friendly reminder here right off the top that I’m going back to just a once-a-week email next week, and that should hit your inbox on Thursday mid-morning.
It’s too bad things we thought were going to be happening this year, like Aquapalooza and the GLOC Shootout, aren’t going to happen after all.
Events like those absolutely bring folks to the lake, folks who spend money, that might not otherwise make their way here.
Anyhoo, let’s talk about what is…
This weekend, it is going to be hot, and it is going to be fast, thanks to those drag boat races happening in Grove. More on that below.
And, I’m starting to take a peek toward fall as I’ve updated the Events page with info on Pelican Fest, Pioneer Days, and a couple of benefit golf tournaments coming up.
