๐๐4TH OF JULY SCHEDULE!
Hello Campers! The Lazy Acres annual Independence Day celebration will be held on Saturday, July 5, 2025. Hereโs the agenda for our fun family activities that day:
๐บ๐ธ12:00 pm โ The Parade will start at Site #1 with Josie Drehs as the Grand Marshall (please gather there around 11:45). Site #1 is the first camp site on the left side of the field as you enter the campgrounds. All are welcome in the parade. Decorate your golf cart, ATV, etc. and join us for a lap around the campgrounds!
๐โโ๏ธ1:00 pm โ The 2nd Annual Lazy Acres Color Run organized by Deanna Gworek, Melissa Maser and Debbie Pokerwinski. Join us in the open field along the road as you enter the campgrounds. This event open to all ages! Participants can walk or run around a small course while volunteers shower them with colored powders made from corn starch or chalk (they are safe and should wash out of your clothes if you want them to). For the best results wear a white or bright shirt. This event was a big success last year!
๐ฅ2:00 pm โ Egg Hunt for the kids organized by Sharon Lenz. Have your children meet in the Pavilion before hunting. Please refrain from picking up eggs until we start the hunt!
๐งบ3:00 pm โ Basket Raffle back by popular demand! Please have your baskets to the pavilion by 3:00. Ticket sales will begin at 3:30 and baskets will be distributed to the winners during dinner. 100% of the ticket sales will be split equally and donated to the Otto Fire Department and Mercy Flight. Thanks to all who are able to make a donation to this worthwhile cause!
๐New This Year โ Sometime in the afternoon, the Otto Fire Department will bring some of their firefighting equipment for Show and Tell.
