Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program2002 Lake FestivalsEach year the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's (IEPA) Lakes
Unit hosts several Lake Festivals throughout the state. Lake Festivals
are family-oriented events usually held at a lake where people interested
in or concerned about lake issues have a chance to meet with "water
professionals" and have their issues addressed. These festivals feature
cooperative presentations given by IEPA staff, a community, Homeowner's
Association, Planning Commission, and other state agencies like the Department
of Natural Resources and State Water Survey. To appeal to our younger
crowd, there is a children's area with educational presentations and games.
Food is supplied by local groups like the local Moose or Elks Lodge and
hopefully, if we're lucky, there may be pontoon tours of the lake. To
date, over 40 events have been held across Illinois since our first Lake
Festival in 1995. A list of Lake Festivals for 2002 include:
And a festival, location yet to be determined, will be held in the Carbondale
area. If you have any questions about upcoming Lake Festivals or would like
to host a Lake Festival in your area, contact Steve Kolsto by phone at
