Lake Havasu Lifestyle

Saturday, September 26th is the big day here in Lake Havasu City for the amazing Fire Truck Tug and Family Safety Day.  The Fire Truck Tug, is exactly what it sounds like: a tug of war.  Teams will compete to see who can pull the fire truck 10 feet in the shortest amount of time.  Competing teams will be co-ed as well as all male and all female.  Each team will be using their brute strength to impress and entertain you while raising funds for the Special Olympics.  The fire truck to be used for the event is from our own great Lake Havasu City Fire Department.
 
Family Safety Day will be held at Rotary Community Park between 9am and 1pm.  As the name implies, this is a day in which families can have a lot of fun while learning more about safety.  There will be booths on hand with information about safety in vaious areas of your lives.  There will even be a place where you can have your child's car seat checked for safety.
 
The day will include airbrushed tattoos, a bounce house, crafts and prizes.  There will also be skate board competitions at the skate park.

*****All funds raised by the Fire Truck Tug will be donated to the Special Olympics*****

Competition forms can be found at the Aquatic/Community Center.  Registration must be notarized in order to participate.  For more information about the event or participation, call Janice Brown at 453-8686.  I hope to see you there!

Many of Lake Havasu's streets will be resurfaced in the next two weeks.  In fact, over 10 miles of the city's streets will be resurfaced beginning next Tuesday (May 5th).  If your street is scheduled for resurfacing, you should have already received an advance notice from the City.  A second notice will be sent 24 hours before the resurfacing work begins on your street.
 
Resurfacing streets means delayed travel for all of us, so add a little extra time for any commutes you are planning in the next two weeks.  There are over 425 miles of streets in Lake Havasu City, so planning an alternate route should not be too difficult if you are familiar with the city.
 
All of the streets being resurfaced will be open to traffic.  Construction zones will be marked, so look for the signs.  Slow down in construction zones, as some lanes may be closed and access may be restricted.  Be on the lookout for the construction guys with flags.  They will be assisting you in navigating our streets safely.
 
Resurfacing our streets may be a little annoying when traveling, but it keeps our long term traveling much safer and more pleasant.  In addition, it keeps property values up.  So, take a deep breath, slow down a little and enjoy the positive side of our street improvements.
 
Questions regarding construction zones are being directed to Harry Brown at (928) 855-3377.
