A note from RRSP regarding Sunset boat races

Brian;
I wanted to tell you I was impressed with not only the turn out at the boat races (radar run) held at this past Saturday at Sunset Bar & Grill, but also with the crowds.

There were a lot of people and watercraft covering a large area. The racing boats were surprisingly fast and steps to ensure safety looked like they were well planned.

Congratulations to a well planned, safe, seemingly successful event on the lake. We had both the patrol boat as well as the patrol PWC over there. We had no complaints, only one citation (overloaded boat), and no risky behavior.

Everyone I talked to was having fun and looked forward to coming back again.

Events like the boat races at Sunset, the beach parties at Fins, and the corn/pig roasts at the Anchor all provide a needed economic boost to the area.

They are all well run events drawing both locals, tourists, and vacationers to the area.
