Despite major winds, about 700 residents came out last Saturday to the Discovery Bay at the Yacht Harbor and the Lions Club Concert featuring the Floorshakers.

“The nine-piece band was exactly what everyone wanted to hear,” said Jim Mattison of the Lions Club. “Although it was supposed to end at 8:30, the band kept playing and the crowd kept on dancing. Everyone kept telling me what a great time they were having and asked when we were having the next concert.

“We couldn’t have pulled this off without our band sponsors, Marples and Associates, California Boat Lifts, Rob Broocker Painting, and Discovery Bay Dental. We would also like to thank the Boardwalk Grill for donating a portion of its proceeds back to the Lions Club. It was great to see so many people having such a fun time and supporting our community efforts.”

Other events held by the DB Lions Club this summer include the annual Golf Challenge on Aug. 9; the Boat, Bike and Hot Rod Show on Aug. 12; and the Big Cat Poker Run on Aug. 14. On Sept. 11, the Lions hosts their Roar, Rumble & Ride – Motorcycle Poker Run, and the inaugural Car Show, as well as the popular Rally ’Round the Lake, which will be held Sept. 12.

“We will also be looking to have one more concert in late August,” said Mattison. For more information on all the DB Lions Club events or to be a Lions Club member, visit www.discoverybaylions.com.
