First Concert on the Rock was Launched
In 2014 the Lake Use Committee wanted to explore new ways to bring special events to the community on the water and met with staff to collaborate. In 2015, the First Concert on the Rock was held, paid for by transferring funds from their Fish Stocking line item. The event was a huge success, and widely supported by residents, staff, and the activities committee members. They worked with staff and approached the Board for a funding request, and the finance committee and board approved funding for future concerts, to be allocated to the Activities Committee budget, for use by the Lake Use concert organizers. The concert featured an evening with a live band on a stage, on the rock of the West Lake Dam. The concert was a huge success, with dozens of boats tied up in the water, plus a huge crowd of concert goers in the grass on the banks. It continues with returning and new bands each year in August.
