Fourth of July Weekend Up North

Just a quick note to those who may not be aware of the Winchester celebrations over the weekend of the 4th. The Chamber of Commerce for Winchester closed down this year and various town volunteer groups have taken over the annual events.

On Saturday evening, July 6, there is the Winchester Town Boat Parade held at the North/South Turtle Lake divide from 6 to 8 pm. There will be food, beverages and music.

On Sunday, July 7, the Winchester Town Picnic in the Park will be held from 12-5pm. There's food, music, raffles and games.

Every year the Friends of the Library sponsor a Cake Walk for those at the Picnic. It's basically a game of musical chairs with a donated baked good as a prize for each round. Below is a picture of a group of people enjoying the game. You'll see two Birch Lakers there this year so stop by and say "Hi".

2013 Birch Lake Directory

Just a quick reminder . . . We'll be doing a new Birch Lake directory this summer. If you'd like to be included in the directory, please remember to renew your membership if you haven't already done so.
