Lighting of the Lake and Cookie Exchange Well Attended.
On Saturday, December 3rd residents and guests came together for the Lighting of the Lake and PLAIN Cookie Exchange. The Pine Lake Singfishers (community choir) performed a few songs, then, after the lighting of the Lake, they led the community in some holiday carol classics.
You may have noticed some differences in the reindeer configuration this year. This is due to several factors: the berm where the reindeer usually play has temporarily become inaccessible because of the condition of both bridges. (We will be getting bids on repair soon). Several of the reindeer were found to be inoperable and there was a shortage of electrical outlets at the new location. Next year will hopefully see a rehabilitated reindeer herd and even more beautiful lights on the lake.
