Memorial Day Weekend Wraps Up With Vessel Safety Check Day at Big Creek State Park

On the Memorial Day Flotilla 4 went to Big Creek State Park near Polk City, IA and had a Vessel Safety Check Day at the Lake. Four Auxilarist Vessel Examiners participated in the activities. Vessel Examiners, Chuck Brudtkuhl, John Hawkinson, Doug Jansen and Phil Patterson, conducted over 20 Vessel Safety Checks throughout the day, educating many boaters on boating safety issues. This was the first time this season that Flotilla 4 was at Big Creek and probably not the last time.

The next schedule Vessel Safety Check Day is at Lake Red Rock on June 7th in conjunction with a Boating Safety Class at the Red Rock Visitors Center.
