That’s right – a live band on a barge in the middle of the lake providing entertainment for Lake residents on adjacent barges lashed together in a flotilla. There is no charge, but reservations are required in order to match barges and bodies. Just pack beverages and appetizers/snacks for your barge (with extra for your boat captains perhaps!) and head for the water (at a pre-arranged pickup point to be assigned). Barges will rendezvous out from Beach 1. Jorge Rodriguez is providing the band barge, sound system, and inviting musicians to join Ron Martinson and him for some singing and dancing on the barges! The band will play from the band barge, and the rest of us can sing from our barges.
Please RSVP to Wanda Martinson by email at wandamartinson@gmail.com ASAP and include the following information:
1) name (or names)
2) email
3) address or lake side preference for pickup (Lakeview/Waterway/Beachway, etc)
4) Can you volunteer a barge? We'll need several! (Please include # of EXTRA passengers you can take - in addition to you and your family - and include your location preference to pick up passengers.) We can match passengers near you and either have them report to your home dock or to a pickup place of your preference (Beach 3 or 4 dock perhaps?)
You can also join by small watercraft (canoe, kayak) or watch from afar at Beach 1. Reservations will be limited by barge capacity - the more barges, the merrier the sing-along. (We’ll confirm your reservation by email before the event.)
No swimming please for safety around all those barges!
Note: There is no rain date for this event, so please cross your fingers for great weather!
