Second Annual Raft Race

The second annual raft race was another huge success. Thanks to all who participated by building and entering rafts, or just by offering your support (and water balloons) along the sunny shores of Great Glen Lake. The race was hotly contested and included a little bit of controversy, but in the end, the winners were Chase Bell, Holden Bell, and Daniel Morency, powering a raft designed and built by Greg Bell.

Shortly after the race, Glen City residents gathered for a Luau and feast at Rich and Cheryl Lee's house. The carry-in food was outstanding with the main dish being a whole hog roasted by the honorable Mayor Lyndsey himself. Ask our Mayor if he'll be running for VP any time soon, he'd win with hog roasts like that! Cornhole, washers and football games were played until the misquitos chased everyone indoors. Did you know that the misquitos are the official bird of Glen City?

Below are a few pictures of the big event. Be sure to send us additional pictures to share if you have some.

The stakes have been raised to a new level. What will the rafts look like next year? Time to start planning now.
