2016 Fall Festival
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 24
The Ambassadors of Lake Saint Louis extend this special invitation for members of our Mothers Club, Sea Lions Swim Team, and Water Ski Club to participate in our community Fall Festival 2016, when our Festival will bring the community together again at Windjammer Point and the back lot of SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital LSL. We plan to repeat successful activities of our first two Fall Festivals in 2014 and 2015: fundraising run/walk, LSL club activities, SSM good health activities, business sponsor information tables, raffles, food and drink vendors, new and classic car roundup, emergency responders, kids’ activity area, clowns, princesses, water ski show, and concluding Music on the Lake at Windjammer Point Pavilion. This year, our kids’ area will feature a bounce house obstacle course challenge.
The Festival begins at 1 pm with a 5k run, followed at 2 pm with a one mile fun run/walk activity for all ages. Both 5k and one mile events will start and finish this year from the Festival site, and we have added colored powder stations for participants to increase the fun of their run or walk. Each participant will receive in their pre-race packet a run t-shirt to wear and “color”! The 5k run will be timed with top finishers (sorted by age) receiving medals. Our Western St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce will host these two run/walk events this year, with SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital LSL as lead sponsor. Fleet Feet Sports will assist this year with 5k race logistics. And, we will continue the practice of returning some of each entry fee as a fundraiser for a participant’s chosen Lake Saint Louis club! Be sure to mark LSL Waterski Club on your entry form and earn money for our club!! In 2016, we again need members and families and friends from the Mothers Club, Sea Lions Swim Team, and Water Ski Club (and other clubs in the community!) to participate in both 5k and one mile events. We need your help to make these two events successful and earn dollars for your club. Registration for both the 5k run and one mile fun run/walk occurs through the Chamber website: http://westernstcharlescountychamber.com/.
And, we again need volunteers from our three LSL large family-oriented clubs to help with Fall Festival activities. Mothers Club volunteers organize our large kids’ area. Sea Lions Swim Team volunteers help with the 5k run route and this year with the kids’ area bounce house obstacle course challenge. Water Ski Club volunteers, in addition to presenting a fantastic water ski show, help with Festival set-up on Saturday morning and the evening grill during Music on the Lake. Each of these three clubs have a Festival volunteer coordinator. Please contact this person to help at the Festival on Saturday, September 24!

We need ski club members to volunteer for set up on Friday evening and again in the morning. Ski Club is also responsible for volunteers to help with concessions/grill for the evening. Please plan to help out with at least one of the shifts as our club receives money from this event.
