Ty's Take
Summer's already halfway gone and we haven't even hit the real heat yet, which means August's coming fast—and with it, the Duck Drop and all the rest of it. The lake's got a way of filling up the calendar without you noticing, everything from carnival days to new boat shows to the kind of recreational spending that keeps this whole region breathing. It's the rhythm of a place built on water and weekends, and if you're not paying attention to what's launching and landing at the marinas, you're missing half the story of who we are right now.
