May

MayFest
Before the famed maypole dancing begins, our LTRCC Queen leads a procession to the maypole, where she declares winter over and spring begins. Children are then lined up to dance around the maypole, holding on to long ribbons attached at the top. They form two circles, facing in opposite directions, right shoulder to right shoulder. The music starts and the dancers braid the colorful ribbons around the tree. This is truly a sight to behold.

Beauty Pageant
A great event for any girl of any age. Here are the following categories: Baby Miss: 0-3, Little Miss 4-8, Pre-teen Miss 9-12, Miss 13-18. The overall winner goes on to represent LTRCC and it communites.

A great event for the whole family. This is a wonderful event to gather up your friends and family and come out to the lake to watch these beautiful sailboats race through the water. The best way to watch the race is to pack a picnic and get in a boat and just sit on the lake and watch them go.
