2024 Boat Parade

7/27/2024

Howdy Garfield Lake Association Members!!

Well, it looks like we’re getting into summer finally …. The temps are heating up and as I write this, I am hearing some big booms in the sky.  But I think the colors of the lake and area around is just wonderful thanks to early rain.  I hope you are enjoying it all as well.

I have attached a few photos of Garfield Lake’s 20th Annual Boat Parade showing a couple of boats all decked out for the fun afternoon.  As noted, it’s the 20th time we have done this and judging by the boats that showed up, everyone enjoys it.   We think we had 30 boats this year, taking a spin around the lake with a whole lot of friends and family sitting on their docks or shoreline waving to us.  I got these from some friends, but I am sure our members have many more that you might want to share.  If so, please send them to garfieldlakeassociation@gmail.com  and we will post them. If we get enough, we might send out another short message with them. They also might provide some warmth this winter as we think about our summer.

If you have some fun photos of both the July 4th Boat Parade, the GLA Cake Picnic after the parade and/or other cool looking items around the lake please send them to us.  As I noted, all of the GLA Team Leads emails are on the web site.

Also, the Social Committee is planning our 2nd Annual Potluck for Sunday, Aug. 25.  Mark your calendars! More details to follow.

Have fun!!  Be Safe and Thanks for being a member of the Garfield Lake Association.  Remember our Mission:      KEEP GARFIELD HEALTHY!!

Thanks,  Ron

Whitten Aerials – Garfield Lake Photos

We have been contacted by Vern Whitten, owner of Whitten Aerials.  Vern has taken several photos of many lakes around the area which included Lake Garfield and has shared them with us.  He also sells these photos in various forms and media so if you like what you see, please contact him at this address:  Vern Whitten whittenaerials@gmail.com  We are going to put some of these on the GLA website.  By separate email, I will attach some really cool aerial photographs of Lake Garfield taken by his airplane.  I will also attach a price sheet for his products, and he has offered a 20% discount on those prices through August.  All those arrangements are between you and Vern.  We share them with you as we think some of our members might enjoy them and his products.
