Kalamalka Lake香蕉视频直播檚 first splash mob attracted an upwards of 200 people to raise awareness against invasive mussels, Sunday.
At one point, the circle of floaters almost broke up as they drifted closer to the beach, said Brynne Morrice with Protect Our Freshwater.
Overall, the event went without any difficulties.
A drone flew overheard to take pictures as the floaters formed a circle around a sign.
They cheered 香蕉视频直播淜eep Kal Lake blue香蕉视频直播� and raised their paddles to show their support.
