2024 LAKE GEORGE ANNUAL JULY 4TH BOAT PARADE

Sunday, July 21, 2024

Independence Day 2024 began with a threatening cloud cover, along with predicted rain. Lake George boat owners were undaunted by the forecast and their decorated watercraft assembled near the Ridge/Stitt dock for the annual parade of boats on Lake George, supported by the Conservation Club! The designated impartial judges, Cynthia Prestholdt & Aaron Ridge, viewed the boats from Captain Perry’s pontoon. The theme of this year’s parade was “Red, White and Blue.” A person on each boat was asked to provide a name and their boat’s theme. The judges again used the now-established criteria to determine the winners, namely: Adherence to the theme, creativity/originality, and participants’ demonstrated enthusiasm/team spirit.     To read the complete story about the winning boats click on article’s title.
