Because it’s Clear Lake… and this is how we roll.

Whether you’re here on vacation or live in this town, one thing you should never say is, “I’m bored.”

Never.

Never ever ever.

After the effects of the 4th of July begin to slowly dissipate, you might be able to get one full, deep breath before we slide right into the next event.

Because it’s Clear Lake… and this is how we roll.

Last night was the hottest Thursday on Main ever recorded.  Okay, I don’t actually know if that’s true, but by the gallons and gallons of sweat that continually dripped from my face… I could possibly be right.  Lots of people stopped by the Chamber tent to sign up for our weekly events email and play Plinko.  Despite the sweltering heat, it was a lot of fun!  If you missed us and would like to be included on our weekly events update email, please send an email with your first and last name and email address to: Rachel@clearlakeiowa.com and we’ll get you added!

So… back to topic here… busy.  Busy, busy, busy.  This weekend we’re gonna ride that 4th of July haze right into the Bicycle, Blues & BBQ festival; a weekend full of bicycle races, delicious food in the park, face painting and amazing music.  Another added feature is the 2nd annual Brews on the Beach.  If you like craft beer… or heck, if you like any kind of beer at all… you need to grab a ticket and get your butt down to the seawall on Saturday from 1-4.  Coupled with the bikes whizzing by at incredible speeds and the food trucks, it’s the perfect Saturday afternoon.

But don’t get too comfortable, Clear Lakers.  After this event you get just a few days to relax and catch your breath.  Summer is in full swing and there is always something to do.

Always.  Always, always, always.

Rent some water toys and get out on the lake.  Stop by the Clear Lake Aquatic Center and enjoy our amazing pool.  Relish the few days of quiet, because you know Thursday will be here before you know it.  Downtown will be bustling with activity once again for Thursdays on Main, sailing us into the weekend and the Antique & Classic Boat Show at the Seawall.

See? Never a dull moment.  And know your friends at the Clear Lake Area Chamber are busy planning so many more amazing events for you all.

Because it’s Clear Lake… and this is how we roll.
