together we rise Clear Lake shined as a destination in 2020, thanks to our abundant outdoor recreational opportunities and an encouraging and supportive
community. We are poised for another year of growth as those who traveled closer to home last summer discovered their new favorite vacation
spot, and because our local businesses continue to put public safety measures first and remain open and ready to serve their loyal customers.
We are hopeful to host a summer full of music, events, and of course, fireworks. Our cover photo by Ron Miles, Jr. signifies our dedication to
tradition as we find ways to host visitors and provide activities to bring families and friends together.
