OSPREY LAKE 40TH CORN ROAST - 2025
We’re thrilled to share that this past weekend was one of the best we’ve ever had, with glorious weather gracing our events! With sunny skies and temperatures soaring up to 30°C, everyone sought shade, and we were glad to have our large tarp on hand to keep everyone comfortable.
Fishing Derby Kicks Off the Fun
The festivities began on Friday with our much-anticipated Fishing Derby, attracting 75 enthusiastic participants. This year, we witnessed some incredible catches, including a record-breaking winner at 50 oz! Notably, six other fish surpassed the winning size from last year’s competition, showcasing the larger fish in our lake.
Games and Outdoor Movie Night
Saturday morning buzzed with excitement as we set up for the day’s activities, which started a variety of adult games. Bocce attracted 60 players, while Corn Hole broke records with a whopping 104 participants enjoying friendly competition. As the sun set, we introduced a new family event: a movie under the stars featuring the beloved classic “Cars.” Approximately 60 attendees, including many adults, gathered to enjoy this cinematic experience together.
The Sunday Main Event
On Sunday, the energy was palpable as about 50 children participated in the bike parade, drawing the cheers of over 200 parents, relatives, and neighbors. Breakfast was served up deliciously with a Hayes Creek spread of pancakes and sausages for a record 206 guests! Following breakfast, the kids raced, crafted, and fished, each leaving with ribbons and treats, smiling from ear to ear.
As the day progressed, it was time for the adults to take center stage with a Cake Walk featuring 70 donated cakes, a Mac n Cheese contest where six participants showcased their best dishes, and the lively ‘lets get wet’ Canoe Races. Raffles kept everyone excited, and we closed the afternoon with spirited bingo games.
Congratulations to Our Event and Raffle Winners!
