Lake Meeting Saturday morning

From the LAPADA web site, "August 29th at 9:00AM in the Chapel at Lake Poinsett Camp, there is a member meeting to discuss the weed issues on the lake. Please remind your neighbors and come to cuss and discuss solutions to the weeds."
"The board meeting, following the Weed Meeting, will not be an official board meeting (not enough notice has been given). Board Members please plan to attend a brief informal get together to share information after the Weed Meeting."

And then I found the following survey being conducted on the LAPADA web site. Go there "http://lpada.com/index.html">and cast your vote before it ends 16 hours from now which will be what 4 pm on Saturday.

Do you want the Flood Control Gates actively managed (opened and closed) to maintain the lake level?
Yes - open and close gates to maintain the lake level


No - only open the gates when the lake is higher than the river


The survey finishes in 16 hours

Fly By Night band playing tonight in Watertown

Heard the band, FLY BY NIGHT
http://flybynightband.com/Home_Page.php
is playing tonight (5:30-9:pm) at the THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE held throughout the summer in UPTOWN WATERTOWN. Sounds like a fun time and no cover charge. This band is excellent and fun-lots of Jimmy Buffet tunes for you parrot heads out there. They've played at LAKEVIEW RESORT and we all had a great time. Would love to have them out sometime, again. Go check them out and let us know what you think...

Catchin' up on the news...

Last week, I weighed a 3.2# silver bass-a proud angler. The Oakwood Lakes carp tournament was held last Saturday with 36 participating teams. They caught 590 pounds of carp. Read about it in the Hamlin County paper. There was also an article written by Larry Leeds about the effect of the water levels in Poinsett entitled, "Lake level has strong impact on business." Bob was interviewed along with Dave Peterson and Jeff Jager. "With the water level up the attitude of the people is much better," Bob was quoted as saying which pretty much sums it up.
