Cheers to everyone this Labor Day Weekend. Not sure Mother Nature will provide us with one more luxurious boating day, but enjoy the long weekend nevertheless.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has looked at the lake this summer, but it's still disappointing.

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) issues precautionary health advisories for Devils Lake in Lincoln City due to harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms and elevated toxin levels. During an active advisory, people and pets should avoid direct contact with the water, including swimming, water skiing, and swallowing water drops.You can check active status updates and water testing details directly through the Devils Lake Water Improvement District.

Note: I checked and it currently is "Precautionary". According to the OHA, that means: Precaution: A bloom has been confirmed or cyanotoxins are present but at levels that are safe for human recreation. Toxins levels may still be unsafe for pets.

Regarding fishing: This is what Oregon Fish & Wildlife has to say: https://myodfw.com/.../fishing-during-blue-green-algae... (https://myodfw.com/articles/fishing-during-blue-green-algae-cyanobacterial-blooms)

VOLUNTEER KUDOS TO BILL!
Thank you to everyone who helped us have another year of unforgettable 4th of July festivities. We want to specifically recognize Bill Sexton for his continued help and support. For those of you that may not be aware, along with donating his time to transport the barge to and from the show destination, Bill also allows the staging of the fireworks barge on his property. A big part of his day is helping to ensure things go smoothly for the show at the expense of spending that time with his family. We greatly appreciate his efforts year after year, among all of the other things he helps out with on the lake. Please be sure to give him a big thank you if you have the chance. THANK YOU, BILL!!

Along with the volunteer time donated by various people to make this show happen, is the financial side. We are so grateful for the support and donations we have received to date. Thank you to all who have contributed!! However, with rising costs, and small shortfalls in our fundraising for the past two years, we still need your help! As of this writing, we are still over $11,000 short of our goal this year. 100% of your contributions go directly to the cost of the fireworks. Please help us keep this tradition alive, and consider donating today:

MUSIC ON THE LAKE: July 12, 4PM - 6PM

Trent Toney is a Hillsboro local who works for Tualatin Valley fire & Rescue. He made some of his first appearances at Midway Firehouse Pizza outside of Hillsboro where he became an instant favorite. He expanded his popularity quickly throughout the Hillsboro / Portland areas, and even made an appearance on Americas Got Talent. He is a talented songwriter and musician that we are fortunate to book for Devils Lake!

The location will be the north part of the lake near Neotsu. Access will be by boat only.

This is a free event provided by the Devils Lake Neighborhood Association, but donations are welcome and encouraged!!!

Your support will help insure we can continue providing these events. Use this link: DONATE NOW!!
