The 2018 Lake Boon Water Carnival was a great success. The weather was excellent, including a moonlit Lighting of the Lake & Music Boat on Friday. Saturday featured fun, food, games, and a juggler at Pine Bluffs Recreation Area, and Sunday began with a three-boat history tour of the lake in the morning, and a flotilla of amazing entries for the Decorated Boat Parade on Sunday afternoon.
The Boat Parade winners were:
- 1st Prize: “Life is a Picnic,” by Amy Abeyta and Janet Robb
- 2nd Prize: “Gilligan’s Island” by the Kotosky Family
- 3rd Prize: “Bubble Bath” by Linda & Dick Gelpke
- Best shore party: Bleau family and friends on Pine Point Road
