It's Back...The Annual Duane Lake Rowing Feast!
The 2025 Duane Lake Rowing Feast will be held on Saturday, August 9th starting at noon. Everyone is invited to join in, bring a dish to share, enjoy the water and just visit with your neighbors. The Rowing Feast is basically a progressive lunch by way of sailing, rowing, kayaking, walking or driving from one host location on the lake to the next for each course.
The day starts off with refreshments and a meet & greet, then we shift over for appetizers, next is your salad course, followed by the main course and finally a dessert stop. Each stop is hosted by one of your neighbors who will provide one or two refreshments and everyone is requested to contribute a dish to supplement one of the courses. Please call our party planner Kim Roberts to let him know of your planned dish as he will coordinate the day and make sure there are sufficient munchies at each host stop. Kim's number is 518-522-6811.
Since this was quite fun and successful last year - for those that would like to participate, a 50/50 poker row game. It will work like this: each entry will pay $20; the player will pick a card at each stop and at the end of the afternoon, whoever has the best hand will win the 50/50 pot with the winner taking home 50% of the funds and the remaining 50% donated to the Lake Association.
