One of the summer's most important events happened here last weekend in Trout Lake, and that's the Trout Lake Fair! What a great, albeit scorching hot, weekend it was too.
The weekend was kicked off up at Elk Meadows on Friday night with all the yummy homemade dishes that were brought to the Community Potluck. The food was added to by the wonderful music and dancing that was had. Saturday is when it all happened though. First, there was the Fireman's breakfast with the "world's best" huckleberry pancakes. Followed by the Family Fun 5/10k runs that saw great turn out over at Jonah Ministries.
What would a fair be without a parade? Leading the procession was this year's Honored Citizen, the venerable Patricia Arnold. The former Trout Lake Newswriter was given this honor because of her years faithfully serving her community. The parade was a spectacular event with floats, horses, dancers, and even Superheros. But last and perhaps most important of all in this year's parade were the beautiful nuptials of Nancy and Derek Parker. The happy couple were wed surrounded by family, friends, and what seemed to be the entire community. Congratulations to both of you!!
After all the excitement of the morning, more food, refreshment and games were a welcome addition to the day. Held at Jonah Ministries, the zip line and climbing wall were busy all day, and the Timber Carnival was great as always. I'm sure all the winners of the delicious baked goods from the auction are enjoying their Trout Lake treats.
Thank you to all of the organizers, volunteers, and participants of all this year's events. It was a great community occasion as always.
A bracelet watch was found outside the grange hall during the parade on Saturday. Call Patty Gray, 493-8959, to identify.
