Lake George Annual Neighborhood Picnic

Tuesday, July 22, 2025

It was a wonderful day for a picnic! Balmy weather and near perfect temperatures for our annual gathering.  We had a great turn out of neighbors, 18 children and 32 adults, at Lake George Regional Park. Birdie and Liz did a magnificent job creating and preparing the raffle prizes for kids and adults. A delicious taco bar from Casa Rio was served.   

The 2025 4th of July Boat Parade Winner prizes were awarded.  1st Place: Tom and Birdie Rotramel, 2nd Place: Jackie Daml family and friends. The Judge’s Creativity Award for the awesome loon boat went to Seth, Jenny, Emma, Noah and Ethan Goettl. 

The big event of the picnic (after eating delicious food) was the raffle. The $50 raffle prize was won by Cole Isaacson.. All raffle winners were delighted with their choices.  It was a wonderful event and we hope more of our neighbors on the lake will join us next year.  It’s the perfect way to meet and connect with friends and neighbors.

Special thanks to the following members who provided raffle donations:

Pat and Carolyn Graiziger (Kemps)

Liz and Dan Gerdin

Tami Isaacson

Vicky and Paul Wilken

Tom and Birdie Rotramel
