Dust off your boots and polish your buckles, folks! The Lakes Activities Committee is hosting Boots and Buckles Night and it's just coming right up. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 9 from 5 to 9:30 PM in the Clubhouse Large Park. Bring out your best western duds and don’t miss out on this fun evening.
Wear your own cowboy hat or buy a nice new one from the Copper Brim Hat Bar, but be ready for bull riding, Boyd's Craft BBQ food truck, group line dancing lessons, and rodeo roping demos. Plus, Chad Freeman and Redline will be rockin' the stage for dancing. It'll be a hoedown to remember!
This event is open to all Lakes residents, but it's an adults-only event. No ticket required; free entry. Join us in the Large Park and Parking Lot for live music, games, food trucks, contests, prizes, bull riding, yard games, hat booth, photo booth, and more.

Lakes residents are invited to attend the Lakes Book Club on Thursday, November 21 at 7 PM. We will be meeting upstairs at the Lakes Clubhouse. All are welcome to attend the discussion even if you have not read the book.
Charlotte Whitney will lead a discussion of The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger. This is much more than a murder mystery. This is the story of how we mend from unthinkable trauma, and a story of community with a deep reverence for setting. In post WW2 Minnesota, the story begins with a death. Possibly a suicide, possibly a murder. The story is about the living whose lives were touched by the deceased. It is a story about the effect of war on individuals.
The full Book Club schedule and contact information is on the Clubs page.
