Celebrate Fourth of July in Lakeside

Lakeside Chautauqua's

Fourth of July celebration begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 4 with the Children's Bike Parade departing from Perry Park. Participants of all ages should arrive early with an already-decorated bike.

Following the bike parade will be the Fourth of July Float Parade at 10:15 a.m. Both parades will travel west on Second Street. Spectators are invited to dress patriotically as part of this Lakeside holiday tradition.

The Grand Marshals for the float parade will be Heidi and Brent Behnken, who have owned and operated The Patio Restaurant for 25 years.

The Behnkens are both lifelong Lakesiders. They bought The Patio in May 1991, two months before they married, so they could continue to spend summers in Lakeside.

Under their ownership, the restaurant has remained a Lakeside staple for many Lakesiders.

Green Gables Garden Remembers

Beloved Lakesider

Although longtime Lakesider Curt Linke passed away more than 11 years ago, his memory still resides here in Lakeside.

Several years ago, Barbara Linke, Curt's wife and a Lakeside Women's Club (LWC) member, donated funds to create a memorial garden behind the LWC Green Gables for Curt.

Curt was the Recreation Director at Lakeside and always
loved the outdoors.

When he passed, Barbara thought there was no better way to honor his memory than to plant a garden in a place he and his family loved.
