Clear Lake Mirror Reporter

Thousands of vacationers and visitors found their way to Clear Lake last weekend to get relief from the hot, humid temperatures.  Boats also crowded the lake and many fishermen reported good luck.  Clear Lake State Park had cars lined up on the outside grass and the beach was packed, despite high winds.  A gentleman from the West Coast even tried a little surfing.

A possible merger of staffs between the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and Clear Lake Business and Industrial Development Corporation may be approved by their respective boards.  The two boards want to combine their leadership.  Presently the two groups are both houses at the Chamber of Commerce, 205 Main Ave.  The two groups have had different goals, but both are concerned with the economic health of the community.
