This year's Festival Among the Lakes was a bit wet, but local enthusiasm was far from dampened. Attendance seemed strong despite the rain people just took "duck and cover" under the pavilion where the aroma of barbecue created it's own kind of frenzy... The Zydeco kept playing. Kids slid and spun on the rides while their parents checked out the boat show and hoped to win the 19' Regal Boat Donated by BoatTree. There was a wake boarding competition and the big sponsor, new custom home development: Waterstone, offered free boat tours up to Lake Butler (and back). All in all, weather aside, this was a very successful community event that truly speaks for Windermere's spirit. Musical, friendly, family oriented, about the lakes, and above all - charity. The event proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity's "Home At Last" - they will be building a home for a disabled veteran and his family.
