It’s that time of year again!

The Crystal Lake

4th of July Boat Parade

Help spread the word to your neighbors to join us July 4th at 6:00 PM
for the annual Crystal Lake Boat Parade!

 

This year, we want as many residents to participate in the boat parade as possible.  If you don’t want to decorate, it’s ok – just come and join the parade!!

If, however, you want to show of your decorating skills to the international panel of judges, this is what you need to do:

Decorate your boat for
the Boat Parade Contest!

Here’s how it will work:
  • All participants should number their boat with their house number so the judges can identify your amazing decorations. 
    – Please use an 8.5″x11″ sheet of paper and with large block lettering
  • Participants will meet near Pik Nik island at 6:00 PM and prepare and line up to pass the judging location 
  • Make your way (Single File, at Slow Speeds) counter-clockwise around the north side of the lake towards the fishing pier 
  • A panel of international and impartial judges have been procured to ensure the best decorations are chosen as winners and given the title of “Winner”
    – Judges will be stationed at the dock of house number #445
  • The judging will occur at home #445 on the north shore of Crystal Lake
    – 3 houses before the fishing pier
    – Look for the interesting flags on the dock.  There will be an USA flag on the top with the Hong Kong flag on the bottom.  (oh that Dave!)
  • After you pass the judging station, make a U-turn at the fishing pier and head back to house #445 
  • The Top 3 winners will be awards with the most lavish of prizes once all boats have arrived
    Money? Food? Gift Cards? New Boat!?! (It’s a gift card)
  • After the prizes have been awarded, you’ve earned a victory lap around the entire lake to show off your skillfully decorated boat!
