Fourth will feature boats on parade
Posted on Wednesday, July 2, 2008
ROGERS - Boat owners are invited to celebrate the Fourth of July by decorating their boats, tooting their horns and parading with the Beaver Lake Sail and Power Squadron.
Boats will form up just east of Point 10 on Beaver Lake beginning at 10: 30 a.m. They will sail south to the Route 12 bridge, proceeding west to the Prairie Creek area but bearing east, around Deer Island.
As in the past, sail boats will lead off the parade, with small craft, runabouts, pontoons and larger craft following.
In order to make boat handling easier and more comfortable for passengers, boaters are asked to maintain a distance of 100 feet between vessels and travel at a lowwake speed.
After the parade, the squadron invites interested boaters to an afternoon picnic at a nearby cove. Participants are asked to bring finger foods to share and their own brown-bag lunches.
Squadron members will be on hand at the picnic to answer questions about a handson sail course scheduled for August.
For further details, phone Mary McAllister at (479 ) 361-2192.
