MEOTA — Meota is humming right along. By that I mean that all day long, you can hear the sound of lawnmowers cutting grass. If it’s not lawn mowers, it's graders, ATVs pulling trailers of grass and trees to the dump or golf carts heading to the concession. The concession is offering breakfast on the weekends, and their ice cream cones are a real draw, whether you’re a child or just young at heart.

Shuffleboard was played May 24. It was a fun day with great fellowship, good food and games. Shuffleboard winners were: first place - Eric Callbeck and Arlene Walker, and second place - Wally Mack and Stella Rendle. Third place was a tie between Dave Plouffe (absent) and Larry Clarke's team and Vivianne Lesko and Gordon Klein's team were tied for 3rd place.
Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail are having a cleanup day on May 31. It’s important to have lots of hands on deck because we have to put out the dock and the safety boat and motor. This spring has been a bit of a slow start, but as soon as it warms up a bit, there’ll be plenty of activity. We’re all looking forward to our sailors getting sail boats out on the water. We certainly have had enough wind for that to happen.
