Nothing sings spring like the opener of trout season, and Newaygo is looking to start the long awaited fishing season in fine fashion with the ninth annual Troutfest, scheduled for Thursday, April 24 through Saturday, April 26.

Open mike night at the Riverstop Café will feature Sandra Bernard welcoming local talent while crooning a tune or two on her own. The Riverstop Saloon will host Trivia Night for devotees of insignificant items of information stored specifically for such occasions.
On Friday night, Rev. Mary Frens of St Mark’s Episcopal Church will officiate in the annual Blessing of the Poles for anglers looking for an additional edge. The event will be at Brooks Park in downtown Newaygo at 6:30 p.m., followed by the always highly competitive bobber race.The Stream will be the locale for final results of the Kid’s Fish Art Exhibit following the blessing.From 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church will host a post-Lenten fish fry with proceeds going to benefit the work being done by the Vera’s House Wellness and Community Center.Parsley’s Sport Shop will hold its annual fishing contest on Saturday, April 26, with prizes for steelhead, rainbow, brown and brook trout.

Everyone else uses Punxsutawney Phil for their Spring predictions – Pickerel Lake has the annual sighting of the Flamingo’s.
Well they have arrived – a sure sign that Spring is right around the corner.
Thanks to Nina and Bob Fox for the grin!

The next meeting of the Pickerel/Kimball Lake Board is
October 10, 2013 at the Drain Commissioner’s Office in White Cloud. This is the Board that manages our weed control on Pickerel/Kimball Lakes.
They will be deciding at this meeting whether to extend the weed contract with Savin Lake Services for another year or to rebid the contract for 2014.
The meeting will start at 10:00 A.M. and there will be a place on the agenda for public comment.
If you wish to express your comments on the weed control this past summer you can do it by either attending the meeting or by e-mailing your comments to Lynn Norlin, who is our lake representative on the Lake Board, at lakelandhardwood@earthlink.net

We are missing two of the signs that we put out announcing the PKA Fall Association Meeting at Camp Newaygo. They are an orange/red color. If you come across one of the signs, please call John Schorr at 616-901-7425 and he will pick it up.
Thanks,
