Lodge at Suttle Lake kicks off summer

Dads celebrated Father's Day with a barbecue and live rock and roll from Ed Fitzjarrel and Decider on Sunday afternoon. It was the culmination of an activity-filled weekend and the kickoff of the resort's summer music season.

The Lodge also hosted art demonstrations by Annie O'Mohondro and fly casting demonstrations by Jeff Perin of The Fly Fisher's Place.

This season marks some changes at the resort. The Boathouse Restaurant has reopened. According to resort owner Ronda Sneva, she had closed the restaurant to convert it into more lodging, but "popular demand" compelled her to reopen.

The evening barbecue and music have been moved from Thursday nights to Sundays.

"All the locals come out on Sundays," Sneva said. "It's more of a true 'locals' night' on Sunday."

The summer roster includes more performances by Ed Fitzjarrel and Decider; Brad Tisdel; Reno Holler; Doug & Katie Cavanaugh; Anastacia & Joe; and The Anvil Blasters.
