🚤⚠️ **Attention Boaters on Lake Texoma!** ⚠️🚤

As the water level rises, so does the risk of hidden hazards lurking beneath the surface. 🌊💧 Here are some crucial safety tips to keep in mind:

1. **Watch Out for Submerged Objects**:
- Fallen trees, rocks, and debris can become submerged when the lake is higher than usual. These hidden obstacles pose a serious threat to boats and propellers.
- Keep a sharp lookout for any unusual disturbances in the water. If you see something, slow down and steer clear.

2. **Maintain Safe Speeds**:
- Reduce your speed when navigating through unfamiliar areas or during high-water conditions. Slower speeds give you more time to react to obstacles.
- Remember, it's better to arrive late than to risk damage to your boat or injury to yourself.

3. **Use Caution Near Shorelines**:
- Be especially cautious near shorelines and coves. Hidden rocks and submerged stumps are common close to the edges.
- Keep a safe distance from the shore to avoid unexpected collisions.

4. **Check Your Depth Finder**:
- If your boat is equipped with a depth finder, use it to monitor water depths. Adjust your course accordingly.
- Remember that water levels can change rapidly, so stay vigilant.

5. **Wear Life Jackets**:
- Always wear a properly fitting life jacket. Accidents happen unexpectedly, and a life jacket can save lives.
- Ensure that everyone on board has a life jacket within easy reach.

Stay safe out there, boaters! Enjoy the beauty of Lake Texoma, but do so with caution. Share this post to spread awareness and keep fellow boaters informed. 🌟🌊👍

The Grayson County Holiday Lights ended on December 25th. Many of us were under the impression that they would continue through New Year's Eve as it has in the past. One of our Texoma Connect visitors alerted me to this yesterday and the event has been removed from our calendar. My apologies to all of those who depended on our event calendar for information and waited in long lines only to discover the display was closed. 😞

Update: the Google search term “frontier village holiday lights” is still returning results for old and outdated versions of our website that do not reflect this year’s end date. We do not know why Google is putting these at the top of the search results instead of this years info but we are looking into it. Once again, the Holiday Lights ended this year on Dec, 25 2023. Thank you all for your kindness and understanding.
