We had another great year and a solid showing! The weather cooperated and 19 boats participated at the start – some may have joined later or dropped out along the way. Thanks to all who cheered from shore to make the 2025 parade a huge success!

Once again this year, we will be awarding prizes for the boats that exhibited the best creativity and spirit of the holiday. It was clear everyone was excited to participate and some of you were very excited about this opportunity to show your spirit!

I was not one of the judges, but here are pictures as they passed my house (number/order should be right but may not match the assigned boat number, but this is how they passed by…)
Look for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons as well as awards for “Fan Fav’s” and “most people on-board”


Congrats to the First to Third place winners! Dee or Tom will be in contact with you to distribute your prizes. Thanks again to all who took the time to participate!

This is our second year with and 11 am start to allow more time to get ready – how did that work?
We also continued the prizes – did that matter to any of you?
Any other suggestions?

Next up: Fireworks tonight (July 5) after dark! The weather looks like a go!
