In a press release sent to the Mountain Reporter from the Lake Gregory Yacht Club, a few booms from cannon fire will be heard this afternoon in Crestline. It reads as follows:
“Lake Gregory Yacht Club is open and active all year-long. In order to keep up with the eastern states’ yachting tradition, we will ceremoniously “close,” or decommission LGYC on Friday, June 1st.
Saturday, June 2nd, sees LGYC hosting our annual OPENING DAY with a bang!!! And we mean a Big Bang, we will use a small cannon several times during our ceremony, which commences at Noon. The Rim High School Fifes and Drums will be playing several pieces throughout our ceremony, which concludes around 1pm. This is an invitation only event and attendees will be representatives of some of the 95 yacht clubs in the Southern California region as well as local area dignitaries.”
This comes just two days after a film crew was detonating explosives and simulating heavy artillery and gunfire in town near Thousand Pines.
With the fireworks happening at the end of this month and all of the new community events launching in town this summer, Crestline is indeed turning into our boomtown on the mountain.
