Welcome to the Highland Lake Highlights
This is a new addition to our web site. Here, we will be showcasing the various special events that occur during the four seasons within the Highland Lake community.
Our first photographed event is the annual PENGUIN PLUNGE sponsored by the Special Olympics. This took place on February 6th, 2006 and the water temperature was in the 20’s !!
Many thanks to these brave souls that dove into frigid water for a very worthy cause. Kudo’s to all of the volunteers that made this event possible. Especially the EMT’s and Fire Department Divers that stood by for any possible emergency. 
Curb Appeal >A Beautiful Yard
Many people wait until they are about to sell their home before they put energy and attention into improving the landscaping. Then in a desperate attempt to create instant curb appeal, they call in a professional landscaper and spend a lot of money making the yard beautiful for the next owners to enjoy.
Why wait until you are ready to move to enhance your surroundings? Even if you don't want to take on a major project, you can plant a few bushes and bulbs each year. You can get plants that bloom at different times of the year, many of which don't need a tremendous amount of care. There are several benefits to this approach. You will be able to enjoy your improvements yourself, and you will profit more from your sale if you haven't invested a lot of money in your yard right before the transaction. Well-landscaped lawns tend to increase the real estate values in the whole neighborhood, and can result in a more rapid increase in the equity you have in your home!
