The July 4^th Maxine Sherman Memorial Annual Fireworks display presented at Wigeon Bay in Clearlake Oaks every year is a cherished tradition in this area.  Maxine Sherman was a CLOGBA member who was convinced of the importance of putting on this yearly display and worked hard to make that happen.  She lobbied the community relentlessly and put on numerous fund-raisers to support it.  CLOGBA members eventually voted to name the event after her.  Maxine died December 26, 1999, but her legacy lives on in the annual fiery explosions in the sky she so loved over the community she worked so hard for.  Thanks, Maxine. 

The fireworks are launched from a barge on the lake near the Clearlake Oaks public launch ramp beginning at dusk.  The best (and most fun) viewing area is from a boat, anchored east of Rattlesnake Island.  No boat?  Next best viewing area is from Clarks Island.   Island Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic to/from Highway 20 during the fireworks show.

The annual Clearlake Oaks - Glenhaven July 4^th fireworks display is completely funded by donations from our communites and fund raising events sponsored by the Business Association.  Your donation to help make this event successful will be gratefully accepted.

2020 and 2021 Accomplishments

We can be proud of the significant charitable contributions we distributed throughout the county.  We've recognized the increased need due to the pandemic and we're responded by donating about $15,000 to various worthy causes.  The breakdown is as follows:

The primary source of our funds is our annual Catfish Derby.  Thanks to the able leadership of Catfish Derby Chairpersons, Gail & Jim Jonas and Dennis Locke, the multitude of hard-working volunteers, and the generosity of sponsors and donors, the Derby has been a resounding success; providing excitement and family fun for catfish anglers while bringing in considerable extra commerce to our community.

East Lake Students and member Doreen PostenWith CLOGBA funds, Red and White Market and Maercel's French bakery sponsorship, help from some CLOGBA members and students from East Lake School, we distributed  Christmas meal boxes to needy families in our area.

We also have a number of speakers presenting topics of local interest at our monthly membership meetings throughout the year. We invite you to attend.  If youy're not a member, we can sign you up at the meeting.

Thanks to everyone for working together to accomplish all that we have done to date.
