Greetings from LLCC! I hope all have been enjoying the beautiful colors of fall. This year has been truly spectacular in regards to colors. The reds, yellows, and oranges have been just breathtaking. I have never seen the crimsons I have seen this year on many of our maple trees here at the Center. Right now, I would say our colors are close to peak. Unfortunately, they are not lasting very long and we are starting to see them start to lessen. Another sign of fall was spotted today, with our annual fall visitor the otter making his appearance on the lake out in front of the beach. They are always fun to see and a more efficient fisherman you will not find anywhere!!
These last two weeks have marked the arrival of several more schools visiting Long Lake. Hill-Murray, St. Katharine-Drexel and Earle Brown have all made their trips here to take part in programming and experience the sights and smells of fall. We were also visited by two of  our weekend crafting groups with The Stitchery coming last weekend and W.O.W coming this weekend. These ladies come to enjoy the beauty and serenity of LLCC, while taking part in one of their favorite past times quilting!
That's about all for now. I do want to remind you to keep your eye on our event calendar on the website, so you do not miss out on any events you may want to participate in here at LLCC. I will leave you with this shot of the fall colors here at Long Lake, enjoy- Todd
