Thursday plans? We've got them covered!

We're excited to welcome Rafe Carlson and his Out of the Woods Tour to the lake for an evening of live music starting this Thursday, July 16th at 5PM.

Planning to come? A few things to know:

• You can bring a lawn chair, blanket, or whatever you're most comfortable relaxing on in the grass.
• Come early to grab a bite, order a drink, and claim your spot before the music starts.
• Beginning at 1PM, we'll have a 90-minute table limit to help accommodate everyone joining us for the event.
• Parking will be limited, so arriving early or carpooling is encouraged.

It's going to be another great night on the lake, and we can't wait to see everyone out here!

Update: We GOT IT!! See my other post for the hero!!

HELP! Big Lake I need you! We had an AMAZING time tonight with a packed house for !! We told SO MANY NEW people about the & the movement and music festival!! So much that we all decided to jump in the lake! (Pics and video to follow) but my WEDDING RING FELL OFF!! 💍 It's not incredibly valuable from a cost perspective but priceless when it comes to sentimental value.....soooo if you find my ring and return it to Willys you will have LIVIN Music Festival tickets FOR LIFE and let's just say I will owe you big time and will probably be able to provide you with some additional pretty damn fun concert experiences!!

The ring is SILVER tungsten probably size 12 or 13 I think?? It is a few feet to the left of the main dock where a boat would be parked!! Honestly if you have some goggles and or at night a flashlight I'm hoping it's RIGHT THERE!! I'm counting on YOU to come through....thanks in advance!!!

Keep on !!
