Farlain Lake Photo Contest 2024 

Returning this year after a hiatus of many years was the Farlain Lake photo contest, open to all FLCA members and their families. The contest was organized and juried by FLCA members and artists Heather Kertzer and Paul Breslin. Both Heather and Paul are experienced photographers. Heather studied Photography and Fine Art at university and Paul was the president of the Midland Camera Club for a number of years. Both have won multiple awards for their photography. Those of you who had a chance to do the Bay Studio Tour in past years had the chance to visit Heather and Paul at their beautiful studio on the northeast shore of the lake and see their amazing work.  Our sincere thanks to them for organizing this contest.

Awards

Submissions were evaluated based  technical quality, composition, story and creativity. First and second place prizes were presented at the Kids Fishing Derby BBQ on June 29.  Congratulations go to the following two FLCA members:

Annual Boat Parade

Return of the Boat Parade in 2024 a Success!

Whether you were the crew on the FLCA’s “Tiki Bar”, one of the participants in the parade boats, or a spectator on shore, everyone had a fun time on Sunday August 4! Not counting Farley and the “Tiki Bar” leading the way, there were 13 boats in the parade and although very windy, Mother Nature provided a great summer day. A great number for our “trial” return of the parade which has not taken place since 2016.

Here are our photos to commemorate the event and for those who may have missed it, show you what you missed.  Pass your cursor over the photo to see the theme.  Click on “2” at the bottom to go to second page of photos.

Our sincere thanks go to the organizers, the creative decorators, the crews, and the spectators (including dancers both aboard and on shore!). Feedback and suggestions are welcome – we would love to hear feedback! Just send your comments and suggestions to inquiries@farlainlake.ca.
