Laker Voices was wonderful
I had a chance to see the town's production of "Laker Voices" over this last weekend. It was fabulous. An original production put together by volunteers from the town telling the Mountain Lakes story with re-enactments, pictures and song. It was unfortunate the original show dates were cancelled due to that freak October snow storm, but I am so glad it was rescheduled so that my family would have a chance to see it.
In watching the show, it occurred to me how different the development of Mountain Lakes was from most other towns. Unlike other towns whose development was based around some geographical feature or some quirk of history, Mountain Lakes made itself through the vision of its developer and the hard work and perseverance of its of its citizens. The swamp and wilderness was tamed and converted into an oasis where homes are in sync with the land through the efforts of its citizens.
"Laker Voices" is yet another step in the long-standing tradition of the people of Mountain Lakes coming together to do something for the community. This is really what makes this town so special.
Thank you to all who involved in the production of the show. To me, it was the highlight of the Centennial celebration.
