Labor Day is upon us again, and it's time to make plans for the last bash of the Summer of 2012. The biggest party will be going on at the Cedar Creek Lake Country Club where members and their guests will start their "Festival Weekend" with a dinner and dance on Saturday, Sept. 1. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m., and the dance, featuring the band Midnight Thunder, will begin at 8 p.m. and continue until midnight. The following day on Sunday, Sept. 2, there will be live entertainment at the pool featuring Ryan & Zac. Corny dogs, nachos, snow cones and cotton candy will be served, and the activities will include a 67-foot obstacle course with water for both the kids and grown-ups to navigate. Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 3, will be last day of the summer for the pool to be open. There will be a barbecue on the patio from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The country club held a membership drive during the summer so the festival is an opportunity for all of the club's members to get acquainted. As usual, Cedar Isle Restaurant and Baja Club will be party central during the long Labor Day weekend. On Friday night, Aug. 31, there will be a DJ entertaining, on Saturday night the Pontiax Band will play and on Sunday night the CW Band will perform. Spending the evening on Cedar Isle's outdoors deck overlooking the lake is a great way to say goodbye to summer, and the party will be going on all weekend long. Take your pick or join in the fun every night. Garlow's, the lake's only gay bar will likely be packed with weekenders and their guests, and there probably will be a drag show over the weekend. If you aren't gay, don't worry. Everybody is welcome, and that tends to be case at the lake's straight bars. They welcome gay customers. If those options aren't what you had in mind there are a number of other clubs on the lake to celebrate the end of summer. Among them are Tiki Hut, Rita's, Walker's Landing and the American Legion.
