What better place to be on a steamy Fourth of July than on the beach at Jefferson Point?
The Lake Saint Louis Water Ski Club held their annual Fourth of July Ski Show on Wednesday. A huge crowd watched from under a garden of pop-up tents as skiers from beginning knee-boarders to elegant swivel skiers to a signature three-tiered pyramid team performed in the waters off Jefferson Point. The Ski Club is associated with the Lake Saint Louis Community Association. The club fields a competitive ski team called the Arch Rivals.
