PAST EVENTS:
Music by the Lake - August 11, 2012
This year, Music by the Lake, featured live music from Crosswinds with Dinorah! It was fun for all ages especially with a special set played just for the kids. A few hundred folks turned out for the event. Squeeze Inn Burger and Its A Grind mobile food trucks were in attendance and both may have sold out by the end of the night. Music 2012 was by far the best yet. We're looking forward to how we can make it even better next year!
