Captain's Meeting - MANDATORY - Dec 06, 2010 - 18:00
Captain's Meeting presented by Memorial Healthcare
"This year's parade will feature a number of specialty boats with a few extravagant productions onboard. Although a little more challenging for us, the entries are well worthwhile and ready to captivate the viewing public. This year's parade will have a strong emphasis on fun for the parade entries as well as the spectators but of course, our first priority is always safety. The plans are all in place and everyone involved is ready to go ! We look forward to seeing everyone on the 11th either on the water or along the shore."
