Annual 4th of July Parade

Decorate your boats and your shorelines! It’s the annual competition. Yes-there are traveling trophys–winners have their names engraved. Line up at the channel opening on your lake. Parade proceeds counterclockwise (during odd years) or clockwise (even years), so plan decorations appropriately. If you put your name on your boat/pontoon, it makes it easier for the secret judges to find you! Smile and have fun–you might end up on Facebook!
