🥞❤️ THANK YOU, PRESQUE ISLE! ❤️🥞

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for the Grand Lake Association's Annual Pancake Breakfast!

While the calendar insists summer is just around the corner (and we're still trying to convince the weather of that fact 😄), today's breakfast felt like the true unofficial start of the season. It was wonderful to see so many friends, neighbors, seasonal residents, and visitors gathered together to share a meal and catch up after a long winter.

This year we set a new attendance record! 🎉

We appreciate everyone's patience as the line moved through the Lodge. We hope any brief wait for those tasty pancakes simply provided a little extra time to visit with old friends, meet new neighbors, and share a few stories. Judging by the hundreds of smiling faces we saw this morning, we'd say it was a pretty great start to summer.

But we're just getting started!

The Grand Lake Association has a full summer of fun planned, including community gatherings, family activities, tournaments, social events, and much more. To see what's coming up, visit our events page and mark your calendars:

🚧 Exciting Improvements Are Underway at Kauffman Homestead Park! 🎾🏀🛝

If you've driven by Kauffman Homestead & Park recently, you've probably noticed a little extra activity. That's because the Grand Lake Association has been hard at work making improvements to one of our community's favorite gathering places!

Over the past several years, we've received valuable ideas and suggestions from residents, visitors, and community members about ways to enhance the park. We're excited to see many of those ideas becoming reality.

✅ A brand-new Pickleball Court is being added and should be ready for play in just a few weeks.

✅ The Tennis Court will be resurfaced and upgraded.

✅ The Basketball Courts will also be resurfaced and receive new backboards and nets.

✅ A new Sandbox was completed today and is ready for our youngest visitors to enjoy.

💧 Looking ahead, we are also planning for the addition of a drinking fountain to make the park even more welcoming and convenient.

These improvements would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers and community supporters. A very special thank you goes out to Dennis Norton, who has spearheaded this project and worked tirelessly to help bring these improvements to life. We would also like to thank everyone who has volunteered their time, shared ideas, and supported this effort along the way.

Please keep an eye on the park over the next month as the transformation continues. We can't wait to see families, friends, neighbors, and visitors enjoying these updated amenities for years to come.

❤️ Thank you for helping make the Grand Lake and Presque Isle area such a wonderful place to live, visit, and play!
