Last week we hosted one of our most popular annual gatherings, the Lake Chelan Golf Tournament. This tournament brings contractors from all over the state of Washington together for a weekend of camaraderie, networking, and some friendly competition in our much-anticipated golf tournament.

Thank You to Our Sponsors!

This amazing weekend would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Our premier sponsor, Rodda Paint, played a pivotal role by sponsoring the BBQ, awards ceremony, and raffle. Benjamin Moore ensured that all our golfers were well-fed with delicious lunches on Friday, while Rust-Oleum took care of the driving range and putting green, enhancing the golfing experience for everyone.

We also had incredible support from our hole sponsors, SKIS Painting, PaintCare, and AllWall Contracting Inc., each contributing to the success of the tournament. Their contributions were what made this event unforgettable.

The Tournament

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the golf tournament on Friday. Blessed with sunny and hot weather—a refreshing change from Seattle's usual cloudy skies—teams eagerly took to the 18-hole course at the breathtaking Lake Chelan Municiple Golf Course.

Lake Chelan Municiple Golf Course is known for its stunning views. Each team gave their best, showcasing impressive skills and teamwork. It was a day filled with laughter, sportsmanship, and memorable moments on the greens.

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning offered a more relaxed pace, allowing attendees to explore and enjoy the various attractions Lake Chelan has to offer. Most years we hold the golf tournament on Saturday, but since we did our golfing on Friday we had plenty of time to relax on Saturday.

Some of our members took the opportunity to golf another round, while others chose to unwind by the crystal-clear lake, soaking up the sun. A few families even visited the nearby waterpark, where they were able to cool off in the water. Another popular activity in Chelan is wine tasting at the region's renowned vineyards.

BBQ, Awards, and Raffle

In the afternoon, we all gathered back at the Lakeside Lodge and Suites for a BBQ, awards ceremony, and raffle. Mike's Meats, a local favorite, catered the event, providing a delectable spread that included mouth-watering BBQ dishes and delightful gelato for dessert. The food was a big hit, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event.

The awards ceremony was a highlight, as we celebrated the tournament winners. It was a great to see the champions receive their well-deserved prizes and recognition. Following the awards, we moved on to the highly anticipated raffle.

The grand prize—a pair of luxury Seattle Kraken tickets, including dinner, drinks, and parking—drew a lot of excitement. Even those who didn't live in the Seattle area were eager to participate. Other raffle prizes included a smart TV, a Washington State-themed cutting board, a large Bluetooth speaker, and more. The raffle added an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the evening.

Saturday Evening: Relaxation and Networking

As the day wound down, attendees continued to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the hotel and the lake. Some took a stroll around the lakeside, others went into town to explore local shops and restaurants, and many gathered in small groups to relax and chat, strengthening the bonds within our community. The evening was a perfect blend of relaxation and networking, offering ample opportunities to connect with fellow contractors and share experiences.

A Successful Fundraising Event

This event is the largest fundraising effort for the WSC PCA, and the support and participation of everyone involved is greatly appreciated. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting our initiatives and advancing our mission. We are incredibly grateful to all the attendees, sponsors, and volunteers who made this event such a success.

The weekend was a resounding success, filled with great weather, excellent company, and unforgettable moments. We're already looking forward to next year's event and the chance to create even more wonderful memories with fellow contractors. Here's to many more successful gatherings in the future!
