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; click here.



* Saturday, July 4th Events *

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

2009 Dock Parties

Summer dock parties are a great way to meet and socialize with lake neighbors. Traditionally, they are held at or after 3:00 pm on a Saturday or Sunday during the summer months. Hosts are reimbursed up to $150 toward the cost of entrée, plates, utensils, etc. Appetizers, drinks, side dishes, and dessert are potluck. Dates are available in July, August, and September.

July 4th Boat Parade
5:00 pm      Dock #1

"Broadway Musicals" is the theme for this year's parade of boats. Special prizes will be awarded for best decorated boat and float, best use of sound, costumes, most patriotic, most kids, and most original. Participants should meet at the southeast end of the lake near Dock #1 by 4:50 pm. Kurt Eby (360-886-7665) is the contact guy and organizer. Black Diamond Marine Patrol will lead the counter-clockwise parade around the lake and Uncle Sam promises to be there tossing candy to the kids. Judges will be strategically located around the lake and winners will be notified. Let's set a record with the number of boats/floats in the parade this year.

Fireworks Extravaganza
10:15 pm           Middle of Lake

The perfect ending to a perfect day…...

This year, Mountain View Fireworks will be putting on the show on a brand new raft custom built by LSCC members. With remote control detonation capabilities, and a pyrotechnician who loves what he does, we are looking forward to a very exciting display. The fireworks raft will be centered in the lake to optimize viewing for everyone.

Mountain View Fireworks also has a fireworks stand in Ravensdale and has promised us the very lowest prices around, better than reservation fireworks prices! There is an address and price list available on this site (click here) with some incredible Class C Fireworks that you should check out.

Remember, if you plan to view the fireworks by boat, you must stay at least 400 feet from the barge and have running lights while moving. The Black Diamond Marine Patrol will be on hand to help insure everyone's safety.
