The most popular part of the Northern Indiana Lakes Festival has been the ski show put on by the Lake City Skiers.
According to Dr. Nate Bosch, the director of Kosciusko Lakes and Streams, “During the ski show, everyone’s eyes are glued to the lake to see what stunts the Lake City Skiers will do next.”
Kosciusko Lakes and Streams, Grace College’s center for water-related applied research and community education, is now planning the 2011 Northern Indiana Lakes Festival to take place at Center Lake Park in Warsaw Saturday.
Bosch said, “We are excited and grateful to have the Lake City Skiers back again this year. It is a great way to celebrate one of the things we enjoy the most about our local lakes – the recreational opportunities that they provide.”
The show will happen in the middle of the festival, at 1 p.m.
According to Tracey Patrick, spokesperson for the Lake City Skiers, this year’s theme is “The Best Little Ski Show in Town.” Acts included in the show require lots of practice, experience, hard work and dedication to accomplish. Spectators will see high-speed barefooting acts, all-girl slalom ballet line, jumping tricks, swivel skiing, pyramids and specialized acts like around-the-boat, wakeboarding and the unique air chair act.
The Lake City Skiers also will perform a few dance routines and will include some comedy both on and off the water.
