year we have
hosted this event. The boats will launch from Jakes Landing bringing the
tour to the Lexington side of the lake this year. Four very gracious
homeowners will be opening their beautiful lake homes for this 2011 tour.
Each home is spectacular and depicts their unique style of lake living.
Over the years our guests have had many unique experiences
as they travel by pontoon to visit the homes. One year a deer was spotted
crossing the back yard as a group entered one home. Another group rescued a
disabled pontoon much to their surprise. There is always the chance
appearance of wildlife and beautiful birds as you travel on the lake.
Safety is a prime concern on the tour. As in years past, the
Sea Cadets will be manning the docks at each home to assist each guest board
and disembark. Experienced boat captains will drive the pontoons. The boat
captains love to share interesting facts about Lake Murray and to make the
cruise a fun and relaxing experience. We encourage all to wear sensible
shoes and to follow the pontoon and tour safety rules.
Although The Lake Murray Association relies on the Tour to
provide the funding necessary to maintain our work for the Lake, we also
enjoy sharing our love of the lake with you. As a special incentive, this
year the Dam Bar & Grill will be offering a 20% discount for ticket holders
to have lunch with them. You can make a day of it. Life is about making
memories the Tour of Homes is a wonderful memory. Tickets for the tour make
a great Mother’s Day gift that you can share with your mother, grandmother
or mother-in-law. Create a memory for yourself. Grab a neighbor, relative or
friend and come join us on Saturday, May 14th.
Launching times are 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM, Saturday, May 14
