The Temps
May 27 (Friday)
(The Wicked Lobstah/M&T’s Twisted Treats)
The Temps, founded in 2010 and from Springfield, are a costume party band that plays familiar tunes that people know. The Temps are a return act from last year. They work best on stage, entertaining with their upbeat renditions of dance cover music from the 80’s to today. Their uncanny and clever mix of music genres stretches from The Black Eyed Peas, Johnny Cash, and Green Day to Michael Jackson, Flogging Molly, and Lady Gaga. Last year, The Temps had the biggest party going (i.e., people dancing) than any other act during our Summer Concert Series.
Their fans, many of whom frequent shows in “I love Nerds” and “Talk Nerdy to me” t-shirts, have come to expect the unexpected from the “fab” five-some. From the beginning of the show when the band runs on stage to “Eye of the Tiger” until simultaneously stripping out of their office attire (on stage) down to their matching necktie t-shirts, The Temps are sure to quench their fans’ thirst for entertainment!
We thank Ernie’s Pharmacy for sponsoring all the summer concerts again. We also appreciate Dan Blazer’s efforts in setting up the bands and the food trucks! Thank you both!!
Please read the below rules for navigation while on the lake. The below items are straight from the Boating Rules and Regs.
C. Safety Zone:
A one hundred (100) foot safety zone (“Safety Zone”) shall be maintained from all shorelines,
jetties, docks or other projections into the lake. While in the Safety Zone, watercraft may
travel in either direction.
F. Operation of Watercraft
(1) While in the Safety Zone or in any cove, motor craft shall be operated at speeds that
produce “No Wake.” “No Wake means idle speed only. In all other areas, a watercraft shall
proceed at a safe speed so that it can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be
stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and condition. The
patrol shall be responsible for determining whether boats are exceeding safe conditions for the
conditions present. Under good visibility conditions and light to moderate boat traffic, the
maximum safe speed shall be set at 35 miles per hour. The maximum safe boating speed shall
be reduced for poor visibility, i.e. fog rain etc. and very heavy traffic situations. However, from
dusk until daylight, watercraft being operated on any part of the lake shall be operated at “No
Wake – Idle Speed Only”; while in operation during such times, all boats shall carry a distress
signal (a light or lantern) capable of being visible a distance equal to the length of the lake.
(2) While outside of the Safety Zone, watercraft shall travel in a counterclockwise
direction (for example, in a northward direction while on the east side of the lake). (Effective
July 16, 1997).
(3) All watercraft shall maintain clearance of not less than 200 feet from other watercraft,
except when both crafts are operating at idle speed. The Patrol shall be responsible for
determining whether watercraft is maintaining the proper clearance from another watercraft.
The jumping of boat wakes by jet skis or other personal watercraft while within 200 feet of the
watercraft that created t
