Geez, where ya been?

Well......let's see.........the stone has been installed on the exterior of last fall's lodge addition......we think it looks great.......maybe I can get Ken to send me a couple pics to post for you who haven't been on site to see it for yourselves........and some landscaping was done after that......still have to lay down some mulch.

And then there is the Friday after Five on June 5th that had about 250 people in attendance for a really great night.......food from Grand Times, drink specials, beer tasting, lots of laughter......oh and the hoola hoop contest......

I shouldn't forget to mention the lodge has been busy on Saturday nights with receptons and reunions.......had a reunion again last Saturday night and another one this Saturday night.......followed by a flurry of wedding receptions.

The new livery operation in Webster City on the Boone River is up and running........Joel with three staff took kayaks on the new stretch last week.......mid week.......and had a blast. It was reportedly a new experience when they engaged the rapids......fun....

Can you believe the month of June is more than half done......wow........and have you seen our ads on the KCCI web site? Before you know it we'll be sending an e-news about the October season pass sale! The new brochures are supposed to be done this week so we can begin using them for next winter mailers.

We are tired of the unseasonably cool days and cloudy skies and rain or the threat of rain. Really looking forward to this weekend with mid and upper 80's for temps and NO rain........but it is admittedly better than this time last year with about five feet of water flowing over highway 30.

Had a surprise visit from our friend Todd a week ago........the guy that engineered the chairlift installation last year. He was in Wisconsin installing another chairlift, had the weekend off and decided to come visit all the Seven Oaks gang. Had a chance to catch up with him and to show him the livery in Webster City.

in closing........enjoy the outdoors..........at Seven Oaks........if you are one of our winter friends, give a canoe, kayak or river tube float a try........we think you will like it........
