Upon their first introduction to Sankoty Lakes Resort, residents of Spring Bay may have felt that it was a gift from heaven.
“I belong to the Methodist church here in town, so I had the pastor get everybody together and I preached a Sunday sermon,” said Kim Blickenstaff, chairman and founder of KDB Development Group, the enterprise behind the resort. “They generally get 80 to 100 people every Sunday, and they got over 200, so that was how we informed the community because that’s the place people really gather.”
That announcement came in late 2019, and now, almost 15 months after breaking ground, Sankoty Lakes Resort is nearing its official opening.

SPRING BAY, Ill. 2021 will be kicking off with a bang at Sankoty Lakes Resort and Retreat in Spring Bay on New Year’s Eve night.
A free fireworks show will be hosted at the resort beginning at 7 p.m.
“We’ll have some big boomers,” said President and CEO of KDB Group Greg Birkland. “We’ll definitely be rocking the valley.”
He added that there is plenty of parking space for people to stay in their vehicles during the show or even a large space if people would like to spread out outside of their cars.
