Your Hosts
Shawn, Sara, and Sydney Bowles                            And now, Sawyer  Don Bowles 7sept 2007















Shawn and Sara were married at Pine Beach Resort 18 years ago.
They moved up from the Twin Cities to Laporte in 2001 to "try out" the area with their now, 11 year old daughter Sydney and a two year
old Sawyer Bowles.
Just last September 2007 Sawyer came into the family.

They are entering their 6th season as owners of Pine Beach.   The resort has been in
their family for 24 years.  Shawns parents, Don & Ginny Bowles, owned and operated Pine Beach for
17 seasons before Shawn & Sara bought it in the fall of 2004.  Don & Ginny built a house
across the road and handed over the reins.  They are still giving a helping hand whenever necessary
and spend many Sundays in the store meeting and greeting guests with cinnamon rolls and coffee.  

Sara is the chemical health coordinator for Hubbard county youth and is active in the community
.  She will continue to work towards
her Master's Degree this fall at B.S.U.

Shawn enjoys hunting, fishing (when he can find the time)
and spending time by the bonfire, a place all are welcome.
Sydney is just starting 6th grade at the Laporte School and is involved with gymnastics, guitar, piano. Sawyer turned two in September.
