Spring clean-up activities...
We’d like to remind you that on Saturday, May 10 we’d
appreciate volunteers to help us rid our road sides of trash
& litter after a long winter season. The clean-up activities
will begin after the regularly scheduled Association meeting
at the Martiny Township Hall on 110th Ave. Trash bags will
be provided. In the event of rain we’ll plan to meet at the
town hall at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday the 11th.

The 3rd Annual Young Anglers Fishing Contest takes
place from 8:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.
The contest is free and is for the children, grandchildren or
relatives of association members 16 years of age or younger.
Children 12 or younger must be accompanied by a parent or
guardian.
Prizes, awarded in 5 age groups, will be for the most weight
for all fish caught by an individual angler. Each angler is
allowed up to an aggregate total of 25 bluegills, sunfish, or
pumpkinseed which will be the only species qualified for the
prizes. There is no size limit and a fishing license is not required
for ages 16 and under. Anglers must provide their own
bait and tackle. Fishing is limited to Horsehead and the John
Browns. You may fish from shore or from a boat depending
on your individual preference.
All participants must register for the contest. You may preregister
now, or you may register at the boat launch on the
day of the contest. Be there a little early so you don’t miss out
on any valuable fishing time. If you want to pre-register, fill
out the registration form contained in the Spring newsletter and mail
it to Jim Osbourn, or simply email Jim (see Contact Board Members page)

The Annual Boat Parade will begin on July 5th with registration
starting at 6:00 p.m. on the water at the boat launch.
Look for the “registration pontoon”. As in previous years all
participants will receive a number on 2 placards to be placed
on both the port and starboard sides as the numbers need to
be visible to the judges. Cash prizes will be awarded to the
first three places as in the past. You must complete the
entire parade route and return to the check-in location to
qualify and receive a prize.
You can pre-register beginning June 1 by calling Barb
Yount at 972-5117 or by email (see Contact Board Members page)
Remember…...the theme this year is “The 60’s”, which, by
the way, sounds very challenging. We’re all looking forward
to seeing what creative ideas you come up with.

Fireworks!
The annual “Devenbaugh Fireworks Display will begin
at dusk. Seems that they get better every year. I think you’ll
all agree that they are some of the best we’ve ever seen.
Many thanks to the Devenbaughs.

Poker Run?
Poker Run……...A new event coming this summer. Have
you ever played poker in your pontoon…….with others...in
their pontoons???? Watch the July newsletter for

walleye stocking program.
