Area residents are sure to keep busy the weekend of June 18-20 during Alden’s Morin Lake Days — which is also celebrating 100 years of Boy Scouting.

Events kick off Friday, June 18, with the start of a medallion hunt at noon, followed by a fishing contest and supper served by local Scouts. The fishing is sponsored by the Alden Area Lions and people can register at the picnic shelter by the beach at 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded and those interested must bring their own equipment and bait.

Also that day is a kiddie parade, tractor pull and softball tournament.

The museum in Alden has been remodeling and will be open all weekend for people to see the improvements they have made so far.

On Saturday, the tournament will continue.

On Saturday morning, June 19, there will be a fun run, consisting of either a 10K, three-mile run or one-mile run/walk. Contact Janet Poeschl at 874-3754 with questions about signing up.

There will be various other events that morning as well, including a luncheon, entertainment and a show with home-based business vendors. The luncheon from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be held in the new wing of the Alden-Conger School. There will be entertainment by the AC Aces and the best of the “Alden Idol” contest. There will also be an open house of the fitness center.

At 7 p.m. will be the Morin Lake Days Parade with the Alden Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts as the grand marshals. After the parade, there will be two dances, one for teens and one for adults, along with fireworks at dusk over Morin Lake.

“We encourage people to come for fireworks and the parade,” city clerk Donna Schmidt said.

Schmidt also said the kid’s fishing contest is popular.

“Kids really seem to enjoy that,” Schmidt said.

On Sunday, June 20, the softball tournament will continue.

There will also be a Lion’s Club pancake breakfast and a worship service for the whole community at the Morin Lake boat landing. The breakfast is at the school and proceeds benefit the Alden Historical Society’s World War II Veterans’ trip. It’s a freewill offering and the breakfast is serving pancakes, eggs, sausage, juice, milk and coffee.

“The worship by the water is always a neat experience on Sunday morning,” Schmidt said. “It’s so peaceful and quiet. There’s also going to be special music with the Good Time band.”

This year the “Great Dane Shoot” will not be held. The contest had been held each year during Morin Lake Days as a sharpshooting contest.
