Good ol’ summer fun

Champion Lake continues to be a place where memories are made and fun is had. On Monday, a six-pack of young kids were celebrating a birthday by going down to Champion and swimming in the lake. One of the draws is a rope swing that stretches down from one of the big trees on the north side of the lake. Here, young Peyton Norman is just moments away from splashing down after riding the rope out over the water, while Jaret Manley looks on. (Johnson Publications photo)
