A new event to the lighthouse roster this year is the Lighthouse Carnival taking place on August 29, 11am to 11pm. Formerly the Rendezvous on the Water, this TBYC sponsored event and CLLS fundraiser will features a corn roast, entertainment, lighthouse tour, film and an ecological exhibit.

Entertainment is provided by the Scott Van Teeffelen Band and they will perform a few sets during the day and into the evening.

Corn on the Cob, Vic Miller - French fries, salad, and other items will be added to eat during the carnival. The BBQ will be available for doing your own thing.
