75th celebration of tmla

In 2027, the Ten-Mile Lake Association will be 75 years old.  Whether an anniversary, birthday or a historical event, 75 years is an accomplishment worth celebrating!

Why are we celebrating?  With a goal of preserving and improving Ten Mile Lake and its environment, the Association plays an important role for future generations to enjoy the lake. We want to honor the association and all its accomplishments for the last 75 years. A dedicated committee has been working to make the celebration a great one with activities.

TMLA 75th Celebration Kick-Off Song

Saluting the Founders for their dedication

Preserving our lake for each new generation

Making a difference for seventy-five years

Making our list for the party next year…

Coffees and socials, and friendly newsletters

All help us know our lake/friends a bit better

Our deep lake’s fed by cold underground springs

Cool water’s one of our signature things!

Youth boating safety and well-water testing 

Platforms and Loon Cams that help our loon-nesting

Enjoying, protecting the lake we hold dear

Lake neighbors work to keep Ten Mile clear


chorus 1

When the loons call…

As the sun sets…

We will celebrate—

—seventy-five years of preserving our lake

Our Associa—tion’s great

75 years of the Association

We’ve got your attention. There’s no more suspense.

These are a few of next summer’s events: 

Ten Mile socials with trivia questions 

Vintage boats on parade, a grand procession!

Kids will meet up for some ice cream and fun

Something for everyone—and we’re not done!

Tours of lake cabins and places significant

And August 7th is REALLY magnificent—

—Come to the party—the Red Barn at Sand’s

Dinner, live music—an evening so grand!
