Dredging - no longer a rumor
by Dave Shearer 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Well, after a very long wait, it looks like we are a bit closer to dredging. I do not have much information yet but my understanding is a dredging contract was awarded. My understanding is some kind of dredging will take place sometime this Fall or next Spring depending on how long it takes to get permits approved. I will let you know more as soon as I learn any details. Dave

CRANE DAY
by Dave Shearer 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

I've had several people inquiring about whether there will be a crane day this Spring. I'm thinking sometime in April so we have a better understanding of what the lake levels are going to do. Right now our snowpack is looking pretty good. Let me know if you are interested in craning in or craning out. Dave

SAD NEWS - Addendum
by Dave Shearer 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

Many of you remember that we lost a member of our marina community last year. Matt Larson died suddenly while at work. The family is doing a Celebration of Life and a funeral this March 25th at 1am - Starks Funeral Parlor 3651 S. 900 E. and then go to Mount Olivet Cemetery 1342 E. 500 S. Matt was always helping out those in the community and showed up for every crane day, whether he had a boat going in the water that day or not. Dave
