Brenda McDonald was also on hand with a variety of exclusive 60th Anniversary apparel and merchandise, giving residents an opportunity to show their community pride and commemorate this milestone year. The evening concluded with a concert by Thunder Creek at the Kathy Crandall Entertainment Pavilion, providing a perfect ending to a great day on the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s Family &amp; Kids Day brought even more excitement, with beach yoga, games, an obstacle course, bounce houses, face painting, and activities. Families enjoyed lunch, frozen treats, and live entertainment from Danimal the Balloon Blowing Clown and Jungle Terry, whose performances delighted children and adults alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as the weekend festivities wrapped up, Mother Nature reminded us who is really in charge with a powerful storm that arrived shortly after the final show concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events like these are only possible because of the incredible volunteers who generously give their time and talents to our community. We extend our sincere thanks to the members of the 60th Anniversary Committee for their months of planning and coordination. We are also grateful to the volunteers from the STARS Club, Polar Bear Club, Fishing Club, Yoga Club, and the Roaming Shores Police Department for helping make the weekend a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special thank you goes to Terri Pilarczyk for volunteering her time and artistic talents to provide face painting for our younger residents throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would also like to thank our performers, food vendors, and everyone who attended the events. Seeing neighbors reconnect, families spend time together, and new memories being made is what community celebrations are all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we continue our Rockin&#8217; 60th Summer Celebration, we invite everyone to enjoy the photo albums from Founding Weekend and relive some of the wonderful moments that made this event so special. Thanks go out to Jan Dougherty, Lisa Breier, Wendy Carley, and Betsy Jancigar for your photo contributions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for helping make Roaming Shores&#8217; 60th Anniversary a celebration to remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/UuJrWy7hjtRz2hZz6\">Founding Weekend Album<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/UuJrWy7hjtRz2hZz6\">Ski Show Album (photographer: Lisa Breier)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a weekend!
