Larwill resident and Whitko High School graduate Ross St. Clair has a unique opportunity to combine his interest in outdoor activities and community service this summer.
St. Clair is serving as an intern with the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation. The Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation, according to St. Clair, is a non-profit group geared towards improving water quality in local rivers and lakes. The organization serves several of Whitley County's lakes, including Crooked Lake, Loon Lake, Goose Lake, Old Lake, New Lake, Crane Lake and other nearby lakes including Big Lake and numerous lakes in Kosciusko County.
Through his internship, St. Clair has an integral role in helping to plan and promote an exciting, fun-filled event this weekend in Warsaw -- the Northern Indiana Lakes Festival.
Now in its second year, the Northern Indiana Lakes Festival is this Saturday, June 26, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at Center Lake in Warsaw.
"This will be a family event with lots of fun activities, food and educational components provided," St. Clair said.
The free event will include a ski show by the Lake City Skiers, exhibits, booths with water-fun related businesses and non-profit organizations, canoe tours of Center Lake, live entertainment, water play area, fishing, door prizes and more.
The event is planned in cooperation with the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation adn the Kosciusko Lakes and Streams with significant support form the Northern Indiana Lakes Magazine and Indiana-American Water.
