Summer Is Finally Here!!








It's almost the end of July, and we finally have a warm, sunny summer day- woo hoo! We have not had very many serious fishermen here lately, so I can't really give a reliable fishing report.... BUT, we do have some families here who are having a blast! :) My boys have been making new friends, which is so much fun to see.
There is a lot of tubing and boating going on around here, and today-on his first try- Cameron got up on water skiis!! So very exciting!!! (Cameron is now 7 1/2).
The water temperature is still pretty chilly, maybe around 69? The kids shiver after they've been in the lake for a while...

To answer the questions on the last post-
1. The Lady Slipper Festival is the second weekend of July, and it's held across from the Community Hall on Lake Kabetogama. This year, there were approximately 25 craft booths, plus some really good food booths. There were also a lot of children's activites- some of which were free, and the National Park had a few speakers come to the festival to give presentations inside the Community Hall. There was also a wonderful travelling musician there all weekend and a performer on Saturday. It was really a nice festival!

2. The Governor's Opener is going to be held on Lake Kabetogama in 2010! Opener is on May 15th next year, but the festivites will begin on Thursday night and will continue all weekend long. Our community is VERY excited to have been selected- this is a really big deal! We're hoping to get some recognition to our area, and we hope people realize what a gorgeous place Lake Kabetogama is! There are many committes, and a lot of volunteers are needed to make this event successful. A lot of people have already stepped up to volunteer- it's great to see everyone pulling together.

Hope everyone is having a fun summer so far! Thank you to all of our guests who have visited this summer- it's been great having you all here, and to our future guests- we're looking forward to seeing you! :)
