The displays of patriotism around the lake during the 4th and last week, were awesome to see this year. Weather it was flags flying high from boats, fireworks displays around the lake or people on the sandbars shouting "God Bless America" as we passed through. We loved it all!!
Because our camp faces Smalls Cove (Sandbar) we and our neighbors were blown away by all the "private" firework displays on the mainland all the way from Minge Cove to Smith Point and beyond. There must have been 25-30 boats parked in the stretch between Sleepers Island and Smalls Cove with their anchor lights on and Old Glory proudly displayed just sitting and watching. I would guess it lasted at least an hour and a half. It was awesome!
Sincere thanks to all those that have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms and thank you to those of you that took the time, energy and expense to put on those excellent displays.
