Have a Safe 4th of July
Summer is in full swing and, believe it or not, the Fourth of July is just around the corner! This is a wonderful time to get together with family to celebrate America’s independence!
Please keep the following in mind:
Play by the Rules
Review the CC&Rs and HOA rules to familiarize yourself with what you can and cannot do as members of the Association.
Homeowners are Reminded of Basic Safety Tips
Although a fun holiday, the Fourth of July can be dangerous, too!
Basic safety tips:
Fireworks: Fireworks are an integral part of any Fourth of July celebration! Always read directions for use, and only use one at a time. Fireworks should never be handled by children and should never be aimed or thrown at another person. Monitor windy conditions and avoid using fireworks near homes, dry grass, animals, or flammable materials. Proper disposal of fireworks includes dousing them in water before discarding them in an appropriate waste receptacle. Set off fireworks from within your own property, in doing so you assume all responsibility for any damage incurred.
Fireworks are not permitted to be set off within common areas including the area around ponds and the boat dock or on empty lots
Be courteous and notify neighbors before setting off fireworks, please be considerate to neighbors and pets – NO FIREWORKS after 10:00 pm.
Water safety: Many will be headed to lakes, pools, and rivers to beat the summer heat. Reminder to wear life-jackets, and to never swim alone if headed to a large outdoor body of water, as drowning can happen in a matter of seconds.
Grilling safety: Homeowners should never leave a lit grill unattended. When grilling, a fire extinguisher should be kept readily available. Avoid decorating near any grilling area and keep the grill at least 10 feet away from any structure.
Pet precautions: Many pets are afraid of loud noises. Reminder to homeowners to keep pets safe by leaving them inside to prevent them from running off and encountering harm once the festivities begin.
Johns Landing Homeowners Association Board of Directors wishes everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Save the date for the 2021 Johns Lake Holiday Boat Parade
December 12, 2021
Don’t miss the fun this year as we celebrate our 21st annual holiday boat parade! Last year we had a record forty-four (44) boats participate in the parade and many, many enthusiastic parade watchers along the shores of Johns Lake. It was a great night for all and with your help, we’re ready to make it even bigger and better this year! A big thank you to Tommy’s Florida who was our sponsor for prizes last year! This year we are looking for additional sponsors. Please contact Karen Quill at kquill@cfl.rr.com if you wish to become a sponsor.
We will publish more details on our website (see below) and Facebook Page. We will include both the parade route as well as how you can register your boat to win prizes. Please keep an eye out for more information coming soon!
Please come join us for the 21st Annual Johns Lake Holiday Boat Parade! Last year we had forty-four (44) boats in the parade and we hope for even more this year!
The parade will start at the furthest NW corner of Johns Lake and motor eastbound past as many neighborhoods as possible in a two-hour time frame.
We keep our boaters in mind when creating the route, since two-hours is quite a long time for people/families to be out on the water. We can’t motor past every single part of the lake but we do try to cover as much shore line as possible. Our plan is to change the boat-route on a semi-regular basis so that everyone has a fair shot at viewing it from their home.
We ask that all boats entering the parade register in advance. Click this link to register.
We’re happy to announce that once again, prizes will be awarded to our top three boats! More detail on prizes to come in future p
