Hello good folks of the Lake St. Catherine community.

How about some news to make us think of some 'Fun In The Sun' during these cold April days... as we wait for the ice on the lake to disappear #LSCIceWatch2018 (the ice went out on 3/2 last year).

We'd like to let you know about the 6th Annual Boat Parade and when the LSC 4th of July fireworks will light up the sky.

6th Annual Lake St. Catherine Boat Parade:

This year, the Boat Parade will take place on Sunday, July 1st at 1 PM. Prizes are awarded for:

• Most Original
• Most Patriotic
• Funniest
• Best Overall

Register your boat today! Email Lila at BurgnerL@msn.com.

We'll have more information soon on prizes and the parade route.

Here's our Best Overall winner from last year:

Fireworks:

Lake resident Rick Roberts has informed the LSCA that his fireworks display will occur on Saturday, July 7th. This year, the fireworks will launch from the east side of the lake, near the mouth of Hall's Bay.

We hope the thought of these summer events will keep you warm until Spring finally arrives!

So, mark you calendars for July 1st for the Boat Parade and July 7th for the fireworks - and thanks to Lila and Rick for organizing these great events for all of us to enjoy.
