Marvin and Ruth Lorang returned Wednesday, August 3rd from their family’s summer gathering. The LAG (Lorang Annual Getaway) began in August 2003 to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary. It has become the Lorang’s annual summer get-together and this year marks 13 years! The location they have been going to since 2008, is a lake home (known as Emerald Hideaway) located on Lake Elizabeth, near Atwater and Willmar, MN. The grandkids have learned to waterski, kneeboard, wakeboard and tube behind the boat while at the lake together. In attendance from the Lorangs were Marvin and Ruth Lorang, Lismore, MN; Tom, Molly, Kaitlyn and Keegan Lorang, Morton, MN; Kevin, Yigliola and baby JP Lorang, Minneapolis, MN; Todd, Susan, Noah, Isaac and Grace Roerig, Sioux City, IA; Shawn, Lynn, Caleb and Asha Dearey, Durango, CO; and Ivan, Jean, Owen, Lucy, Phoebe and Hazel Vargas, Dell Rapids, SD. Great fun was had by all.
