44th Annual Labor Day BBQ and
Fly-in Weekend!
Be sure to be in Trinity Center this coming Labor Day weekend! This year we have events throughout the weekend for your enjoyment.
The festivities kick off Saturday morning with an
All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast at the IOOF Hall sponsored by the Trinity Center Volunteer Fire Department.
See all the details
on the Community Calendar, but note that this pancake breakfast offers eye-opener mimosas and bloody marys!
Saturday evening, try your luck at Bingo at the KOA campground in Trinity Center.
This particular bingo evening wraps up another successful season of bingo games sponsored by the Trinity Lake Lions.
Or as an alternative, enjoy the end of season Luau Party at Timbers Restaurant at Cedar Stock. Call Cedar Stock for details.
On Sunday starting at noon, the famous Lions BBQ and Craft Faire begins at the usual
place on Airport Drive. Drive in, fly in, or walk in and enjoy the fare and the (craft) faire.
Details
on the calendar.
Sunday evening, come show off your stuff at Karaoke Night at KOA. From 7 pm to 10 pm
we'll hear the best voices in the area entertaining us all with favorite songs.
On Monday, enjoy the lake or a hike in the mountains! Mother Nature blessed us with a
late spring series of storms and the lake is in excellent shape! Trinity Center marina is in full operation, the ramp is open,
the water is "warm", and this will be a great weekend to be on the water. In the mountains, you can still find snow and lots
of wildflowers.
This will be a terrific Labor Day weekend in the North Lake area!

3rd TLRA Water Update and Community
Vision Workshop
There was a great turnout at the 3rd TLRA community meeting held at the Coffee Creek community center. Those
attending heard an update on the lake water issues, and watched an interesting 1960s marketing
movie--More Precious Than Gold--promoting the construction of Trinity Dam -- 20 minutes.
The community members broke up into seven small teams to discuss topics important to our lake area
revitalization, and gave direction to the TLRA regarding priorities.
