4th of July Boat Parade - "PIRATES"
It was a beautiful day for a boat parade and the theme was "Pirates"! Thanks to all who participated and we're looking forward to next year when the theme is "Movies/Music".  It was a very difficult decision for the judges, and here was what was finally decided:

1st Place -Wagner family from Krueger's campgrounds...they had the best display and did a great job of turning their pontoon boat into a pirate ship. Lots of work went into their entry and it showed! They win $50.00 and will have our awesome traveling trophy to display for the entire year.

2nd Place - Stein/Asselmeier families...they had an awesome skit which included both an old and a new pirate theme (including lots of great Arrrrgh jokes)! They win $35.00.

3rd Place - Jolly Jensen family...they put a lot of effort into the details, including a wench walking the plank and a rum-drenched pirate being towed behind. They win $25.00.

4th Place tie - the Arnoldussen family and the Rabida family (from Krueger's campgrounds). They each win a consolation prize of Berry Lake cozies.  The Arnoldussen's had the best cannon ball toss and best costumes. The Rabida's had the best special effects (big boomers and smoke screen from their canons)!

BERRY LAKE WATER LEVELS

The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey was granted a permit through the WDNR this spring to install a continuous water level recorder at Berry Lake in 2013. The equipment consists of an on-shore aluminum enclosure along with buried conduit that is trenched form the enclosure to the shoreline and then below the lake bed out to a point where it can be anchored to the lake bed.  Click here to view the water level of Berry Lake, which is monitored by the USGS.
LEGEND LAKE COMPOST SITE
The compost site @ Legend Lake will be available to Berrylakers again this year, and here's the info. We can drop things off there and also pick up compost for an annual fee.  It won't be long and we'll be out there raking!
