On Saturday afternoon, September 13, 2025, Pawtuckaway Lake was the scene of hilarity and excitement. From 1:00 – 4:00 PM, a group of enthusiastic players competed in the PLIA’s FIRST Annual Pawtuckaway Games event. There were contests and challenges presented to pairs of participants – on a timer, no less – at five properties along the shore of the lake.
To say the least, spirits were high as teams completed seemingly impossible tasks. One competitor summed up her experience like this:
“I do not live on Pawtuckaway Lake but for me it is full of childhood memories. More were created today.
Ever try to fill 6 plastic cups with air from a balloon in order to lift it with nothing but air – and build a pyramid with them?
Ever lug buckets full of lake water with holes in the bottom and dump it into another bucket with the hope of floating a rubber “duckie” out?
How about trying to open a Russian-egg type package with many inner packages while wearing Oven mitts? (At the Ovens’ – of course !)
Now you may have more experience with cornhole or puzzles. Any good Laker brings some skill to these. But do it with a timer going???
My partner and I did not go away with any trophies. (Clearly cornhole does not need a strong pitch.)
But when was the last time you spent a Saturday afternoon just playing games just for the fun of it?
Nice job by Lamprey 18-30! The Lake and its neighborhood benefited.
And we created another great memory on Pawtuckaway Lake.
A good time had by all.
Thanks,
Monica A. Joyal”
Thanks for the testimonial, Monica, and thanks to our volunteer organizers for this wonderful opportunity to celebrate our lake community and raise money for the PLIA at the same time.
And, see you on the lake!
