Frank Boyles, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM: PRESENTATION RECOGNIZING PERSONS WHO MADE LAKEFRONT DAYS
A SUCCESS (Mayor Haugen)
PRESENTATION: Prior Lake enjoys a reputation as a recreation-oriented community. The
recreational opportunities are not just confined to the lake, but include major
celebrations such as Lakefront Days.
Lakefront Days is the epitome of volunteerism, civic duty and community pride
coming together to produce a week's worth of events designed for the whole
family. If you didn't participate in Lakefront Days, you missed the opportunity to
enjoy a wide variety of music, foods from a dozen area restaurants, a water ski
show, artisans selling their crafts, the parade, a 250+ classic car cruise, and rides
and activities for kids of all ages.
Lakefront Days is growing. We now count attendance in thousands. A significant
number of individuals and organizations form a tight-knit team to make Lakefront
Days possible. It is fitting to take a moment to acknowledge the major organizers
of the Lakefront Days events to thank them for their efforts.
From the Chamber of Commerce, thank yous are in order to President Darcy
Rose, various Chamber Board members and Sandi Fleck, the Executive Director.
Darcy and Sandi made it a family affair with their spouses John and Rick,
respectively, joining in to help the whole weekend. John Parrish was responsible
for the parade. The car cruise was coordinated by Kat Asmus with assistance
from Bill O'Rourke. The Ice Cream Social was made possible through the
combined efforts of Susan Walsh and Kelly Meyer. AI Friedges and his capable
crew made sure that before, during and after the event, Lakefront Park looked its
best.
As capable as these people are, there were a whole host of organizations and
individuals who donated their time and energy to make Lakefront Days possible
either as participants or as workers. You know who you are.
Thank you for making Lakefront Days 2002 the biggest and best yet!
