Lakes Jam Was a Hit… But So Was the Lost and Found

If there’s one thing I’ve heard over and over again from people who went to Lakes Jam this year… It’s that it was one for the books. The music was amazing, and people showed up in droves ready to have the best time ever. From what I’m hearing… mission accomplished.

But here’s the thing about having that much fun… sometimes you leave with a little less than you came with.

DID YOU LEAVE LAKES JAM WITH LESS THAN WHAT YOU CAME WITH?

Every year after Lakes Jam wraps up, there’s a list of lost and found items that starts to circulate. And every year, it’s a mix of the expected… and the downright surprising.

Yes, wallets, credit cards, and jewelry make the list as usual. Let’s face it… when your favorite artist is on stage, and you’re dancing and singing your heart out, keeping track of your belongings isn’t exactly top priority. It’s understandable. You’re in the moment.

THE RANDOM LIST OF LOST AND FOUND

But what caught my attention this year was the random stuff that turned up. Someone lost an iPhone. Another person left behind their entire wallet. A few keys were left behind. A necklace. A ring. And… wait for it… a box cutter. Yep. A box cutter. (Not sure how that made its way to a music festival… but here we are.)

If you’re sitting at home right now, patting your pockets and suddenly realizing your ID, wallet, or keys didn’t make it home with you… Don’t panic just yet. The Lakes Jam crew has you covered.

HOW TO CLAIM YOUR STUFF

You can email them at info@lakesjam.com and ask if your missing item made its way to their lost and found bin.

They’ve even got a list of' partial names' tied to some of the credit cards, licenses, and wallets that were recovered. Recognize anyone on this list that you may have gone to Lakes Jam with?
