We were honored today to have our first large wedding on the property. Close to 100 family and guests enjoyed themselves on our property. The day started out gloomy and rainy, but a few minutes before the 4PM ceremony the sun started shining through the clouds. I took some pre-wedding photos. the area near the barn and the fish hatchery made for a great backdrop for the wedding. The wedding photography said she would share some of her photos with us. When I get them I’ll post them for you to enjoy.

The ceremony took place on the grassy area just before you walk down the steps by the fish hatchery. The bride came walking across the bridge from the picnic pavilion.

The reception tent was set up right next to the barn and they and appetizers at the picnic pavilion.

Last week my niece, Sierra, spent a weeks vacation at the resort. She just graduated from college in May and this is the first summer she has been able to be here since high school. It was such a joy to watch her relive all of her childhood memories. She was here for 6 days and she filled it with every possible activity she could. I had a smile on my face the whole week watching her. It truly reminds me why White Birch Village is such a special place and why our statement “Where memories are Made” is what this resort is all about. Along with the pictures of Sierra’s activities for the week they also participated in the teen/adult treasure hunt, did the scavenger hunt, took several pontoon boat rides, spent time in the game room and the hot tub. the only disappointment for her was that there wasn’t a picnic the week she was here.

Fishing!

This is what your face looks like when you lose the first musky you have ever had on your line 🙂

Sierras friend, Mari, caught the largest fish of the week! It was a 24-25 inch northern.

They even got into the hunt for Charlie.

The creek was a favorite of Sierras! They caught frogs and crayfish!

This is a great photo of how the resort looks at night from the lake.
