In celebration of Independence Day, the Lake St. Catherine Association is pleased to announce our 5th annual Boat Parade, taking place on Sunday, July 2nd. All are welcome to join the parade or cheer from the shore.

There will be 4 prizes for decorated boats:

• Most original
• Most patriotic
• Funniest
• Best overall

Judges will view the passing boats from the judging stations marked with red, white and blue balloons.

Do you remember last year's winner - Fly Boarder Justice Cook flying through the air?

Creativity and patriotism were on full display last year. What will our boat paraders have in store for us this time?

The parade will begin with a gathering of all participating boats in Forest House Bay at 1 PM on July 2nd (rain date: July 3rd).

Participating is easy! Just contact Lila Burgner at BurgnerL@msn.com or call 802-884-8093 to register and get a boat number.

All children participating in the parade will receive an ice cream cone gift certificate from Stewart's Shops!

...and don't forget about the fireworks! Lake residents Rick Roberts and Jack Williams will be putting on their yearly show the evening of Saturday, July 1st.
