On July 18th-20th, we will be watching the hydroplanes fly across the water of Pontiac Lake along with thousands of county residents and out of town visitors.

With the speeds reaching well over 150 mph, and with some of the best powerboats pilots in the country driving, you know the races will be very exciting, and the finishes very close.

The 15th Annual Quake on the Lake raises funds that will benefit The Rainbow Connection, a charity that makes special wishes of Michigan children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses, come true.

There will also be fun things for the whole family to do: concerts, viewing classic cars and hot rods (from the Flaming Pistons Car Club), a Christmas in July craft show, a sandcastle building contest and a whole lot more.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, sunscreen and binoculars to capture all the action on the lake!
