We have exciting news to announce! On the 4th of July at approximately 1:42pm the United States Air Force has granted a B-52 flyover on the north arm of the lake. We are honored to have this request granted and would like YOU to join us in showing our patriotism!
At 1:00pm we would like to turn the north arm in to a runway with watercraft decorated in RED, WHITE AND BLUE! We will be judging the best decorated watercraft with 1st place receiving $100 gift card, 2nd place $50 gift card and 3rd place $25 gift card. All watercraft should line up along the east and west shoreline from the clubhouse to the dam. During this time the north arm will be held to a speed limit of 10 mph. Bring your family, friends and flags out to the common areas and show your support!
We would like to thank Brian West, President of RLPOA and Robb Simms with Lake Winnebago for all the work they have done to get this special treat for you to enjoy.
ADDITIONAL RLPOA NEWS:
Water Quality Alert! Red flags are flying!
With all the rain events we have had this week, water quality is poor. E-coli is currently over the limit of 206! See the website for specifics. Remember if you have a low immune system or an open wound, you should not be in the water. Swim at your own risk.
UPDATE: 07/02/2010 – B-52 Canceled due to scheduling conflicts per the United States Air Force. The US Air Force sends their apologies.
We will still have a boat parade and contest for the best decorated watercraft in RED, WHITE AND BLUE on July 4th! We will be judging the best decorated watercraft with 1st place receiving $100 gift card, 2nd place $50 gift card and 3rd place $25 gift card.
