Special Thanks to Alexander’s

The Findley Lake Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our gratitude to Alexander’s for hosting Celebrity Bartender night on June 8th to raise money in support of the volunteers.


Featured bartenders Matt Clapper, Bowie Brown, Murphy Mulkearn and Terry Winfield provided beverages and laughter for our wonderful community supporters. In addition to the donation from Alexander’s, many patrons were able to buy raffle tickets for the E-Bikes being given away at the upcoming Don’t Tell Shirley concert on July 31st.



Pictured above and representing Alexander’s are Manager, Kris Risky and Owner, Molly Hess. Kris also announced that all proceeds raised from the 2nd Annual Turkey Trot this fall will be donated to the volunteers at the Fire Department.


The volunteers are thankful to our entire community for their continued support. Our service to our town and community is enhanced by every donation. Your donations are funding numerous initiatives and training that promote the safety and well-being of our community and our visitors.

Findley Lake Forward would like to thank everyone for making our First Annual Beer Crawl a success! Special thank you to all the volunteers that made it happen! See you next year!

Ducks also will be available on the 4th of July at the Gazebo from 10am - 12:20pm (or sold out). Race starts at 12:30pm. Prizes announced and distributed approximately 1-1:30pm.

Boat Parade "A Sentimental Journey" starts at 2pm.
