Memorial Day weekend in Lake View

Despite the weather this past weekend, many of the usual Memorial Day weekend events and activities were enjoyed. Monday's windy but sunny weather allowed for the miniature golfers to enjoy the "golf" site and boaters could "hide out" from all the wind in the bay area. Crescent Campground was packed and were probably glad for Monday's sunshine as well. Fishing was great out in my area of the lake on Sunday during the wet and misty weather of that day. I heard that fish like that kind of weather. My nephew and other family members caught 12-13 edible fish that were eaten on Monday. There were also over 20 some garage sales going on over the weekend. The picture shown here is the "left overs" of my friend's sale. Not pictured are the other Saturday morning events of plant sales, bake sales and the pancake breakfast.

One does need to be reminded though, that the reason for Memorial Day is to honor those in our Armed Services, both past and present. Rev. Herman Kramer gave a wonderful keynote address at the annual service sponsored by our local American Legion Post. May we all continue to pray for those still risking their lives so that others may live in peace.
