The shores of Lake Tippecanoe recently played host to a day of events, the Lake Tippecanoe Cottage Tour and Luscious Luau, held on July 29.
The events were a success, celebrating the community's unity and raising funds for a noble cause – clean water for future generations to enjoy, according to a news release from The Watershed Foundation.
In total, the event raised more than $64,000 to support projects that will enhance water quality and support the health of local lakes and streams in the Upper Tippecanoe River Watershed.
Organized by The Watershed Foundation, the Cottage Tour and Luscious Luau returned after a five-year hiatus, showcasing the homes, views and spirit of the lakefront community while providing an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to come together.
During daylight hours, the Cottage Tour allowed participants to explore some of the cottages along the lake's shoreline. Each cottage told a story of its own, with owners sharing tales of family histories, lake lore and personal connections to the lake, stated the release.
The event had a meal and live and silent auctions.
“The success of the Lake Tippecanoe Cottage Tour and Luscious Luau could not have been possible without the enthusiastic participation of the community members, local businesses and volunteers who dedicated their time, resources and talents to make the event a resounding triumph,” said Barbara Sweeney, development director for The Watershed Foundation.
"We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible turnout and support we received from the Lake Tippecanoe community and beyond," said Lyn Crighton, executive director of The Watershed Foundation. "This event truly exemplified the spirit of togetherness and generosity that defines our community. We are thrilled to have been able to organize an event that not only brought people together, but also contributed to a wonderful cause. The health of our lakes is paramount to the future of our community. It’s clear – from the support we received – that people are eager to safeguard the health of our lakes by taking action."
Marquee sponsors for the event included Barbee Lakes Property Owners Association, CS Kern, Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners, Lakeland Pier & Lift, ProWake Watersports and Smoker Craft Incorporated.
