2019 PLCC Flotilla

Posted on July 18, 2019 by prettylake

The 2019 Pretty Lake Flotilla was an enthusiastic and fun event for this year’s Fourth of July activity. Well done participants.

We enjoyed watching the Grand Marshall Susan and Terry Martin from cottage #83. It was inspiring to have “Abraham Lincoln” stand up for Freedom and take 1^st prize by the Welti family of Cottage #85. The “Pretty Lake Pizza” float was yummy baked by Julie Jones and Family from Cottage #72 and won 2nd prize. All were glad the “Shark Attack” entry (3rd place) from the Butler Family of Cottage #35 did not eat it. Our 50^th State was well represented by the “Hawaiian Theme” from the Martin Family of Cottage #141 – here’s hoping the Pacific sail was not too rough. A big thank you to the “Don’t rain of my Parade” by the Clelland Family of Cottage #121 for giving us a beautiful weather day for the flotilla. Of course we cannot thank “Splish-Splash” from The Pusti Family and Friends of Cottage #118A enough for the excellent CLEAN UP.

Scrap Recycling

Posted on July 2, 2019 by prettylake

Steve Johnson has volunteered his time to pick-up any aluminum and metal pieces you may have laying around for recycling in Kendallville with all proceeds going to the PLCC. Items must be placed roadside for ease of pick-up from July 1, 2019 through July 2019. NO APPLIANCES Please be sure to mark the items as scrap to avoid accidently taking something not meant for recycle.

2019 Flotilla Grand Marshalls Named

Posted on July 2, 2019 by prettylake

Our 2019 Flotilla Grand Marshalls are Susan and Terry Martin from cottage # 83. Their Pretty Lake property was originally purchased by Susan’s grandparents, Charles and Esther Ueber, as a retirement fishing cottage. Although she was a very young child, Susan fondly remembers her grandfather fishing and her grandmother cooking delicious bluegills in her cast iron skillet.

As the years passed, the cottage was owned by Father Charles Ueber, Susan’s uncle and by her mother Mary Margaret Ueber Kane.

Present owners, Susan and Terry Martin, reside in Indianapolis but spend many happy summer days on Pretty Lake. The cottage is also enjoyed by their daughter Heather and their granddaughters Lylah and Julia, who are the 5th generation.

Pretty Lake is truly a special place to the Martin Family and to all of us who enjoy its natural beauty!
