“Local Events!”

I received an email from Kelly Lake’s Pat Patterson asking that I keep him updated on events here at Kelly Lake.  I see Steve “The Kelly Lake Webmeister” (my web site mentor) has included a page for “Local Events”.  I’ll start using it whenever… 

You’re also able to post on this blog along with “Local Events”.  Just register (it’s free), click on “Write a Post” and click “Local Events” after you post your event or notice!  Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.  We have Oconto Falls Friends of the Arts coming up (see Local Events).  Roger 

Wintry Walk Along Lake Michigan.

February ’08 storm!

feb-17-08-008a.JPGI’m sure many of you Wiscosinites felt the effects of the storm that moved through yesterday (2-17).  I understand many south got freezing rain and mix.  It was all snow here at Kelly Lake. 

I don’t have an exact total of inches from snowstorm “Isabella”, but it was a lot here at Kelly Lake; I’m guessing at least a foot of snow.  Shirley and I were out three times clearing snow to stay ahead of it.  Shirley’s seen here clearing the decks at Birr’s Eye View!  I did the drives with the the big blower, albeit a rider (I got the better deal!).  A friend in Madison says he has seen  more than he cares to down there, as they set records this wintry season!  

Think spring!  This winter is getting old!  Oh!  By the way, it’s snowing again; 1-3″ predicted!  Rog

Oconto Falls “Friends of the Arts” Event!

Kelly Lake’s Karen Lutzinfinity0101.jpg sent me this notice of an upcoming event.  We’re members and enjoyed all of the excellent performers the “Friends of the Arts” have brought to our small community.  Perhaps you’ll be in the area the 23rd to take in what I expect to be another night of fine entertainment!  It’s a short drive from Kelly Lake to the relatively new Oconto Falls High School auditorium; excellent audio and visual.  Hope to see you there!  Roger
