Security Gate Project Capital Campaign
Posted November 18, 2021 By now, many of you have received a letter soliciting your voluntary support to contribute to our capital campaign to complete the security gate project. We're seeking $75,000 in voluntary donations to this campaign, rather than a special assessment. Why? Because we believe there are enough members out there that will be generous enough to want to contribute to this project--in fact, we have at least one member who has pledged matching funds up to a limit to encourage others to join in. If every member contributed $125 to the project, or every homeowner $500, that will get us to where we need to be. What will this funding be used for? The good news is that we've already blocked access to most of the remote parts of the complex, so the funds will be used to modify the upper and lower entrances with two-way traffic gates, instead of single lane entry/exit we had originally designed. In addition, funds will be used to enhance the entryways with signage and landscaping to improve the aesthetics at both entrances. If you wish to contribute, please click here or use the button below to use a credit or debit card, or you can mail a check or stop by the business office (open 9-2, Monday through Thursday). We appreciate your consideration and any amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated. |

En Plein Air Event at Peaceful Valley
Posted October 22, 2021
Peaceful Valley was the opening venue for 20 "en plein air" artists on Wednesday, October 20th who are in town through the weekend to paint landscape paintings at a variety of venues around Owensville. For day 1, Artists picked a variety of locations around the Peaceful Valley complex and later that day, the paintings were submitted into a competition, with the first place winner getting a $500 prize generously donated by Lolle and Glenn Boettcher. The Day 1 winning entry by John Whytock is a scene looking westward from the dam, capturing part of the lake and a boat dock and houses along the southern shore. More to follow as the overall competition wraps up this weekend. Note, many of these paintings are available for purchase at the dinner event Friday night, Oct 22nd at the White Mule, or Sunday at Seasons of Faith, and any still unsold will end up for sale at Art Works on Main in Owensville.

New Pet Waste Stations at Dam and Beach
Posted September 30, 2021
Along with the improvements to the top surface of the dam, we've added pet waste stations to the fence post near the entry to the dam and near the turn-out parking spot near the beach. If you're one of the many people that enjoy taking their pets for a walk in these areas but forgot or misplaced a waste bag, or are just plain inconsiderate, now you don't have an excuse for leaving a steaming pile behind. Remember, these are high traffic areas for our members and their families, so please use these bags to clean up after your pet and deposit it into one of the trash barrels near both locations.
Special thanks to Bob Oreskovic for acquiring and installing the stations!!

Catch and Release Implemented at Peaceful Valley
Posted: June 21, 2021
Our success with eradicating the lake vegetation that plagued us over the past few years has a major downside for anglers—there’s much less fish cover for smaller fish to hide while they grow. Also, the staggering increase in fishing last year during the pandemic ended up significantly decreasing the sport fish population in the lake. For the next year, we’re asking anglers to practice catch and release for Bass, Crappie, and Bluegill to allow them to replenish the stock. We do ask that you help eliminate some invasive species, notably Drum, and Blue and Flathead Catfish. If you catch these please either keep them or dispose of properly.
