Kim Wilk Water Ski Classic Recap

The 2nd Annual Kim Wilk Water Ski Classic was held on June 12th at Tamarack Lake in Lakeview, MI.  It was a great day – sunny, warm and the skiing was great.  Approximately 30 participants skied, kneeboarded, tubed, wakeboarded and trick skied.  The raffle featured great prizes presented by ProGear, PureFood, Ski Seth, DB Ski, and Performance Ski and Surf.  Skiers hit the water from 9am to 5pm. And at 5pm, the Grand City Show Skiers hit the lake with a smashing performance reminiscent of days gone by with pyramids, jumping, and tricks on every device you can imagine.
