The GRDA Ecosystems and Education Center (adjacent to Pensacola Dam, in Langley) will play host to the third annual GRDA Lake Launch event on Friday, May 2 (6PM – 8PM). The event is free and open to the public.
Langley – The third annual “Lake Launch” is just around the corner and the Grand River Dam Authority is reminding you to mark your calendar.
To be held at the GRDA Ecosystems and Education Center in Langley, on Friday May 2 (6PM to 8PM), the “Lake Launch” is free and open to the public. It will include food, music and displays from lake area vendors, and will also be an opportunity for the public to meet with the GRDA Lake Operations Team. Have a question about lake permits, rules or regulations? Interested in Pensacola Dam tours, facility use and rental or dock billing? GRDA’s team will be on hand throughout the event to get you the answers you need. Meanwhile, if you are interested in a closer look at a GRDA police boat or the GRDA helicopter, they will also be on display in the old lake patrol parking lot. Of course, there will be door prizes too (but you must be present to win).
Come visit the reception and information booths from 6 PM to 7:10 PM. After that, stay to hear from GRDA during the “state of the lake” address by GRDA Chief Executive Officer/Director of Investments Dan Sullivan. He will update the public on the issues affecting Grand and Hudson lakes, including information on GRDA’s ongoing programs, goals and plans for Summer 2014.
Remember, the fun starts at 6 PM. The GRDA Ecosystems and Education Center is located at 420 Hwy 28 Langley, Oklahoma, just west of Pensacola Dam.
