Webster Lake
Association's First Annual Independence Day Boat Parade!
If you thought you saw Uncle Sam
out on Webster Lake Saturday you don't need to make an appointment
for an eye exam. He was just one of twenty boats decorated for the
first annual Webster Lake Association's Fourth of July Boat
Parade.
From pontoon boats filled with cowboys to
Master Craft covered with bathing beauties and everything in
between they danced or hula-ed and partied around the lake
during the two hour parade route greeting landlubbers and fellow
water craft wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July.
"We had twenty boats for our first year and they
were all just incredibly decorated," said Jeanne Rossetti,
Fundraising Chairman.
The funds raised from Saturday's parade will
help pay for the costs of the current Webster Lake weed survey
being done by GeoSyntec Consultants for the association.
"It was a great opportunity to get together with
family and friends and enjoy this great lake that we have and be
part of the community," said first-place winner Ken Cournoyer from
Webster. Cournoyer's family spent most of Friday evening
decorating their pontoon boat in a tropical mermaid theme.
"We couldn't be happier with the parade," added
Rossetti. "People on shore stopped and waved as did many of our
fellow boaters. What a wonderful way to spend some time on the
lake. We're definitely looking forward to next year."
