Count down!
Canyon Lake will be sizzling Monday, July 4 – for- tunately as the result of fireworks, not weather. The forecast is for temperatures to be in the low to mid-90s – perfect for lounging in the pool or lake.
The people forecast is for thousands of weekenders and guests to join Canyon Lake’s biggest party of the year.
The color forecast is red, white and blue, as people adorn their decks, boats and golf carts with flags and bunting, and their bodies with patriotic hats, T-shirts and swimwear. The Friday Flyer always searches out the lat- ter for its annual 4th of July photos, so be prepared!
Pyro Spectaculars is scheduled to begin launching the fireworks from Skipper’s Island (across from the Campground) at approximately 9 p.m. Monday. Be- cause of road closures, spectators are urged to reach their viewing destinations by 8:30. Mike Shroyer of Good Time Entertainment will be providing a “Rock Anthem Top 10 Countdown” from the pool deck prior to the fireworks.
People may sit on the causeways to view the show, but not stop their cars or park on causeways. Parks will open at 6 a.m. that morning for those who would like to set up easy-ups and chairs. (No personal possessions are allowed to be left at the parks and beaches after 10 p.m. on July 3.) Waterfront spots fill up quickly. All table pavilions at Holiday Harbor already have been reserved through a lottery system, but the grassy areas are first come, first served.
Calling in Guests?
Residents are urged to direct their guests to the Main or East Gates. Tell them to have photo ID ready at the gate and arrive as early as possible to avoid delays. Guests with pre-printed passes may use the middle lane at the Main and East Gates.
The Association has provided a few updates to the traffic details announced last week, so residents and their guests are reminded to keep the following in mind when driving to parks and beaches on the 4th of July.
Pre-fireworks Traffic Notices
• Beginning at 2 p.m. on July 4, Longhorn Dr. will be closed between Strawberry Ln. and the Camp- ground.
