Westlake is known as a community of successful businesses. The competitive spirit of those businesses came to life last week as the City of Westlake hosted its annual Corporate Challenge – a week-long series of fun activities staged at various venues around town.
Highlight of the week was the Cardboard Boat races that culminated the competition at the Westlake Recreation Center swimming pool the evening of Aug. 15.

Mayor Dennis Clough and co-captain Terria Kneisel man the oars in the Westlake Corporate Challenge Cardboard Boat Race.
This year’s team champion is Echo Health, who brought it on strong to loosen Q-Lab’s annual grip on the title. Q-Lab earned runner-up honors this year.
Everyone was a winner, however. “Westlake is known for its successful businesses,” said Mayor Dennis Clough as he presented trophies to end the evening. “But who says you can’t also have a little fun with your friends and families?”
The City is grateful to all the companies that took part in Corporate Challenge week. If your employer is a Westlake company and didn’t have the opportunity to register a team by mid-June, please consider joining the fun next year!
