Another hot and dry weekend, perfect for water sports. We saw campers and boats coming and going throughout both days. The golf course likewise is very busy each and every day. There was lots of calm weather for sports like kayaking and surf boarding, too.
The concession is open again after a forced closure due to family problems. This was very unfortunate as it would have been one of their busiest weeks.

A 60th wedding anniversary party was held in the Edam Senior Centre honouring Marion and Dave Ottas, on Aug. 7. All their family was home for the occasion- from Vancouver, Camrose, Edmonton and many other places. Open house was held from 2-4 p.m. with a barbecue family supper at 5 p.m. Starting at 6 p.m. they all enjoyed dance music by the Blue Sky Country Boys from Mervin and Edam. Tables were moved aside and dancing was enjoyed until 9 p.m. Sunday morning found the family enjoying waffles and pancakes topped with whipped cream and strawberries. A few gifts were opened and family pictures were taken before folks dispersed and headed for home.
