Saturday, July 21 promises to be a rollicking day as Valley Appreciation Day (VAD) returns for another year.

The breakfast begins at 9 a.m. and VAD runs until 1 p.m.

Also on Saturday is the Lake Windermere Regatta, from noon until 4 p.m., at Kinsmen Beach.

There is a ‘Love Your Lake’ photo contest (submit your photos today) and Lake Smarts: test your knowledge about Lake Windermere at the Lake Windermere Ambassadors’ Lake Smart tent.
