INDIAN LAKE'S SUMMER SOCIAL 2022

Mike and Greg carrying out their assigned duties of cooking, serving and tasting!!!

It was so very good to meet and greet our neighbors.....

......AND how did all that taste testing work out??

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS

Thank you Mary for opening your home to all of us.

AND thank you to all the neighbors who did the
shopping, cooked the meats, made the salad and
desserts. The tables could not hold all of the food.

Is that rain I see coming?? No problem, our neighbors know how to stay dry!! Well at least partially dry.

And from the smiles in these two pictures, I believe it fair to say, everyone had a good time. Till next year!!

water sports, trampoline fun
and great music from our local band, Bogfoot.

A MOST UNUSUAL 2020....SOME PICS TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE

EASTER - APRIL 12, 2020.........

...........and I ask you...WHO gives a HOOT about the snow anyway........!!

SPRING IS HERE AND INDIAN LAKE IS ENERGIZED AND FLOURISHING

Gary exchanged the skis for pontoons-year round fun!!

The loon and goose want to know ............ who's going to jump in first!!

SUMMER HAS ARRIVED AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS WE DARE!!

The beauty along our roads can be breathtaking. Stop and take it in.

Be sure to travel slowly down our roads. You just never know what's around the next bend.

July 4th gave us a chance to get creative. The Indian Lake Association Annual Meeting took place at the Sugar Camp Park pavilion. We were grateful for a perfect day and it was good to see some of our neighbors.

Clear your mind, watch the sky

Ruby loves her rides on Indian Lake

Dave and Joe are doing lake chemistry while trying to practice social distancing in the basement lab.

Gary enjoying a campfire. Our kids built this fire ring in the early 90's. It's not really symmetrical but has good memories.

GOODBYE SUMMER.....

.....HELLO FALL.. a time to reflect and slow down...

AND NOW WE COME TO THE FINAL SEASON OF 2020. For many of us this is our favorite.

Dan said the dog sled excursion filled him with happiness.

The fishing reward that day was the sky

Thank goodness for technology which has offered us an opportunity to communicate with our families.

Sent from our Sugar Camp Lake neighbor -
Over the holidays, our kids cleared a spot so Jim could go up and down practicing his curling skills.

.LOOKING FORWARD... We welcome 2021...

One last quip: "Can we uninstall 2020 and reinstall it again? This version has a virus." Unknown Author

I would like to thank those who contributed these fun pictures for the Indian Lake website.
If you have a picture you would like to contribute from 2020, don't hesitate to send to us.

WINTER CHILI CONTEST 2020

Well thought out!! There was even transportation for the precious chili entrees. Thank you Dennis and Joe.

... THE PRIZE TABLE

I want you all to know this was a very serious business. Not only did we have nine contestants but the orchestration of where to put all the chili pots and numerous condiments was truly a difficult, mind-boggling task!!
After all that juggling, came the eating (which was a lot of fun).
Then the voting (which was very, very difficult).

So folks, with all the hard work behind us, now we can socialize, meet new neighbors, and reacquaint with long time neighbors.

BUT DID I FORGET????.... We gathered to find the best chili on Indian Lake in Sugar Camp ....
JOHN WON THE CONTEST AND IS SEEN DISPLAYING HIS WINNINGS PROUDLY.
Thank you all for making this day so very special.

PONTOON & PICNIC 2019

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ice Social 2019

Don't know which was better, the music or Greg's chili???

No, I think meeting neighbors
and socializing
was the best.

The weather was perfect, the sun shining and hardly any wind. What more can you want for a winter event.

Kasha was eyeing the chili but had to be satisfied with a kiss from Dana!!!

.....and then it was time to say Goodbye....

2018, August 4 .... Indian Lake's Annual Pontoon Party and Picnic

First came the pontoon party. The weather cooperated for the first half.

It wasn't long before Mother Nature showered us!! Greg spent most of his time grilling up succulent chicken. Thank you to our hostess family, volunteers and fabulous neighbors for all those great side dishes and desserts.

This summer our bat building house project was a great success. (June 23, 2018). Thank you Dave, Jan, Dennis, Greg and Joe for making this event happen!!

Chili on Ice 2017

What do I see??

Baseball caps instead of Elmer Fudd hats.

Shorts instead of the warmest winter pants available?

Obviously not all the beer was used in the chili, Waste Not, Want Not..

If you look closely you might be able to figure out (at least some) how this homemade delectable chili is made! Thank you Greg.

To help keep Indian Lake free of aquatic invasive species, please consider giving us a few hours of your time this upcoming Spring & Summer at the boat landing. It's not all work, believe me...................

Checking for invasive species are (back row) Joe Smogor, ILA president, Arlene Loerke, (front row) Gary and Jeffrey Edwards. Thank you all.

This is also one way to meet your neighbors, learn a lot about people who might not live on our lake but enjoy fishing here.
