Every Tuesday night at 7:30 during the months of July and August, fresh-faced Muskoka teens from Summer Water Sports Muskoka, well-versed in the ways of the Lakes, put on a water ski show on the lakefront of Windsor Park. Shows are free of charge, but afterwards they'll solicit donations: all donations go to Camp Oochigeas, a summer camp on Lake Muskoka for children living with cancer.
Loosely arranged around a flimsy storyline, the show is good old-fashioned, super-cheesy fun. You can either take your boat up to the show and anchor it far enough out to stay out of the way of the performers, or you can spread a blanket on the hillside at Windsor Park. We prefer watching from the boat as you don't have to contend with the massive crowds in the park, and you can drink your Alexander Keith's much more freely...
Tho the storyline changes each summer -- storybook characters one year, Harry Potter another, the Olympics in '08, 007 this year -- you can always count on the following:
*People will ski barefoot;
*Girls will ski holding the tow rope handle with one foot;
*There will be a pyramid;
*Someone will ski on snow skis;
*Someone will ski on a canoe paddle;
*Folks will go off the ski ramp;
*Someone will wakeboard;
*Someone will hydrofoil (my personal fave);
*The emcee will be over-the-top with Velveeta commentary.
It's the same every year, but I think that's why we can't stay away.Listed in: My Muskoka, With the Lights out, It's Less…, Blue Moon
