Okeechobee Pennysaver • June 27, 2012 - July 03, 2012
Chamber, Main Street and Tourist Development Organizations Unite A meeting between representatives of the Chamber of Commerce of Okeechobee County, Okeechobee Main Street and the Okeechobee County Tourist Development Council was held June 14, 2012. The purpose of the meeting was to establish lines of communications between the organizations to include sharing information, working together on projects and supporting each other. Each entity has specific mission statements, outlined below, all of which are connected to different levels of economic development with the focus on making Okeechobee County a better place to live and work. Everyone agreed it only makes sense to work together to bring the unique characteristics of each group together for a unified effort toward promoting our community. The organizations often interact with each other at various times, but communications are often limited to a particular issue. As a first step in a unified approach, the organizations agreed to use the Chamber’s “Calendar of Events” as the county’s central event calendar. This will help prevent overbooking dates as well as errors when dates are changed. The Chamber’s Calendar can be found at http://www.okeechobeebusiness.com. Once on the site, select the events calendar. It is very user-friendly and posting an event is simple. All area groups and organizations are invited to use this calendar as well. A central event calendar for the county has been on everyone’s “Wish List” for years. If anyone has any questions on how to post their organization’s events, you may call the Chamber office at 863-467-6246 or email terry@okeechobeebusiness.com. Mission Statements:

This home town festival will held at the Agri-Civic Center on July 27th and 28th in conjunction with the Cattlemen’s Association Ranch Rodeo. Sponsorships are available at various levels. Booth space is available for vendors of specialty items, food, and non-profits. Please call (863) 357-6246 for sponsorship form and additional information or go to our website. VFW Post 10539 located at 3912 Hwy 441SE is proud to announce the grand opening of their outside Pavilion on the rim canal. It opens at 11 and goes to whenever! Billy Dean will be broadcasting live for WOKC from 11- 1. Starting at 12 rib or chicken dinners will be available for $8.00. Children under 12 receive a free hot dog and soda.

From 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm the golf carts are free and everybody pays our member rate. In addition to the expanded Friday hours, Quail Creek is always open to the public from Wednesday through Sunday, 8:00 am until 5:00 pm.

We’re glad we can be here for these women and children and glad that they’re safe. But being in a shelter is no summer vacation for a kid. We would like to change that and bring a Summer Breeze into their lives. We need your help to do that. I am personally asking members of Main Street to donate $45.40 in June, July and August. Mail to PO Box 727. Money will be used for field trips to the beach, children’s museums, etc. Martha’s House. The Big Red Bus is still in town!

They are in need of renting a home for a Mom, two teen sons and two younger girls. They will also need more supplies, clothing, furnishings and other household items. To assist, please contact Shirley Matson at 863-3571371. The Parks & Recreation Dept. is hosting Okeechobee
Summer Games to celebrate this year’s Olympics. It will consist of several events including relay swim, basketball shootout, tug-a-war, obstacle course, table tennis, and more. Teams will register up to 15 people to compete in Olympic-style games to win bronze, silver and gold medals. Competition will be held Day 1—Saturday, July 28th at the Sports Complex and Day 2—Saturday, August 11th at the Ag Center. There is a junior division (ages 14-17) and adult division (18 & up). Teams will play for a local nonprofit charity of their choice. It is $150 to participate, of which, $50 will go to the winning team’s charity. We’re seeking participants who would enjoy and appreciate these games. Get a group of people together, find a sponsor and show some Okeechobee pride! If you can’t find a sponsor, it’s just $10 per person. If an agency/team registers both an adult and junior team, you’ll receive a $25 discount. Remember, you’re not only competing to have fun, but also to represent a local charity! There is an informational meeting Thursday, June 21st at 7pm at the Civic Center. A final list of events will be announced then. We are also seeking agencies or businesses to sponsor events. If you want to get involved, your group can run an event during competition day and display a sign at no charge. You simply help set up and run your event. We will take care of everything else! If a group would like to run a concession booth at the Ag Center on Aug. 11th, they can for a small fee. Please pass this along to anyone who would be interested. Registration is June 18th-July 13th at the Parks & Rec. Office in the Sports Complex. Call (863) 763-6950 for more details.

Lake Okeechobee Fishing Report Brought to you by
T
he only thing that has interrupted the great bass fishing is the wind and rains that have been prevalent for the last few weeks. We have had abundant rain yet the lake level is stable. Bass fishing is good when you can fish the areas where you have found fish. The wind has been making boat control tough and also adds an element of danger to the lake.
Spinner baits have been our bait of choice during the very early morning hours. Good numbers of fish can be caught in the first hour or so of light. Once the bass quit chasing and eating the spinner bait we have been switching over to plastics. A fluke or senko will get you as many bites as you want. Color down not seems to be an issue and we prefer watermelon of some sort, although a black senko works better than others most of the time. The blue gill and shell cracker bite is slowing down, but if you put your time on the water you can still fill your live-well with a bunch of fish.
Summertime storms can make the lake a very dangerous place. Storms can come up quickly and waterspouts are fairly common. Don’t be foolish and try to weather the storm. Your life is worth more than a few bass.
