The new Lake Bomoseen Lodge will be the place to be on Saturday, June 24, at 5 PM for the Bomobash. LBA members and friends of the lake are invited to attend. This is the LBA's annual picnic and is being held once again on the shores of Lake Bomoseen, at the former Edgewater Resort. George Nostrand, including Trip Westcott & friends, are providing music during the evening for our enjoyment. The new Taproom is preparing barbecue ribs & chicken, with all the fixings. Non-alcoholic beverages are provided. There is a cash bar; no coolers are allowed this year.
