Light Up Horsehead Lake
Last year was the first attempt and went great. Decorate your boat with lights. No preset theme. Meet at the Sandbar at 8:45pm. Dave Haywood will lead the parade of boats around the lake in the dark. Tune into 100.5fm, WHHL, for live music being DJ’d during the parade. We encourage those who want to participate, but don’t want to take their boat out, to go ahead and decorate their docks, decks, porches etc. Let’s Light Up Horsehead Lake!!!!!

Color / Wine Tour

This is a great social event on the water. Meet at the Sandbar at 1:00pm. The idea behind it was to get together for maybe a “last” boat ride with friends and hopefully see some color. In the past, people would bring an extra bottle of wine for taste testing. It has grown over the years and is not just a wine tour. In fact, you don’t have to drink wine at all. Folks will usually prepare some sort of snacks and hors d’oeuvre’s to share while not having to worry about driving their boat. Pontoons tie up on the sides and Dave Haywood pilots the whole barge while you socialize with your lake community.

More activities will be added as they are formed.
