Members of the community gathered for a beach party on Watch Lake on Feb. 22.
Friends and neighbours donned their shorts and Hawaiian shirts and set up portable fire pits, beach chairs and umbrellas for a day of fun on the frozen lake.
This was the Third Annual Watch Lake Beach Party. Inspired by a bout of cabin fever, the neighbourhood tradition was originally started by Gord and Shirley Mitchell, with the help of Dan Grant.
Fun was had by all with Bocce games, quad-towed recliner chair rides, and hotdog and marshmallow roasting.
This year's most memorable moment was marked by an emotional toast in memory of the community's beloved Norm Rastad.
