Winter Blues Blast!

The Winter Blues Blast is coming up on Saturday, March 5, at the Pontiac firehouse. Music starts at 3 and goes until 9 p.m. We'll be selling food throughout the day as well as souvenir cups. A portion of the proceeds will help fund our annual fireworks over the lake, this year scheduled for Sunday, July 3. Come out and listen to some great local live music. Let's blast away those winter blues! Spring and boating season are just around the corner!

Boat dock hours

We are currently "officially" open from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday; however, we are often around during the week, and if you catch us there, or call ahead to meet us there, we'll be happy to assist you. In just a couple more weeks we'll be opening full time again - starting March 5 we will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. March 5 is also the BLUES BLAST. (See previous post.) We hope to see you there!

Oh, happy day!

Quite a few inches of snow fell on Pontiac yesterday. Not nearly as much as some counties in northwest Arkansas, thankfully. We're all getting pretty tired of the cold, wet stuff. Local schools have had so many snow days... they'll never get out for summer! But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Today the sun is shining, and the snow is beginning to melt. Next week's forecast looks pretty fabulous. Now, this I can live with: Click here.

Winter Blues Blast

There's no better time to start thinking about blasting away those winter blues than during a blizzard! We lucked out here in Pontiac - we hardly got any ice or snow. But, it's still bitter cold, so it's time to start thinking warm thoughts.

Don't miss our second annual Winter Blues Blast on Saturday, March 5, at the Pontiac firehouse. Assuming the weather cooperates, bands will be set up inside and outdoors. A small cover charge will be collected to cover fees for the bands. Proceeds from food sales and souvenir cups will help fund our annual fireworks over the lake this July.

The best part of the event is the musical talent - bands include Revolver, Traced, the Bull Shoals Blues Boys, Lija (pronounced Leah) and more.

Storm of the Century?

That's what they're calling it! Yep, we are under a winter storm warning right now in Pontiac. Counties to the north and west are under a blizzard warning. A blizzard? In Missouri?? So far we've gotten mostly rain, and it has just switched over to freezing rain and sleet in the last half hour. We're also predicted to get 3 to 6 inches of snow on top of the ice. I'll keep you posted as the day goes on... assuming we still have power. Hope it's warm(er) where ever you are!
