Lake Sawyer July 4, 2009 Celebration
Annual Fun Run
Results Are In!
The results are in for the 16th annual Bike, Run, or Walk around the lake. We had 53 participants, more dogs than ever,
and perfect weather. All seemed very happy with the event and really appreciated the shirts, ribbons, refreshments,
and water station at Gangl's. There seemed to be a lot of visiting going on both before and after and lots of "thanks"
for putting on the event. That makes it all worthwhile. Thanks to Mark for all his hard work. Also to Joe, Ron, Marlene,
Susie and Drew Davidson, and Joan Gangl. The results will be in the Voice of the Valley soon but you can
view them right here, right now;

Water-ski/Wakeboard Tournament

South End of Lake
First come, first served! With a
maximum of 15 entries, pre-registration is encouraged.
Participants should meet at the starting raft at the southeast
end of the lake by Duck Island, no later than 7:45am. Slalom
skiers will go first followed by wake boarders. Spectators are
welcome but NO WAKE PLEASE! We need to keep the lake as calm as
possible. LSCC obtains a special permit for this event which
allows only the tow boat to exceed the 5MPH speed limit. The
Black Diamond Marine Patrol will be on hand to insure safety for
all. For information or to pre-register, contact Jacqueline
Stocks, 360-886-7822 or by email at jac@intleague.com

sure, stop in for a look. For further information contact Wes or Kristy at 360-886-0147
