What an afternoon on the Water!

We had a great time at the Concert on the Lake — with 35 boats anchored and enjoying the show! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support the event.

A big shoutout to Tom & Susie Manikowski for hosting the band on their deck, and to the band Twister (aka Flashback) for absolutely rocking the lake with classic rock and new country. They did a fantastic job!

Events like this are made possible by BPILA membership dues — thank you for being part of the community!

Already looking forward to the next one…
