GOOD NEWS: HOLIDAY BOAT PARADE WILL GO ON

Canceled last year because of budget cuts, private sponsors have made it possible for the thousands who watch the Boat Parade to again do so on December 20th 2008 starting at 6:30 pm at the C-15 canal (Boca-Delray line) and moving south along the Intracoastal Waterway. The sponsors to thank for allowing this 31-year old event to go on include Summit Brokerage, The Boca Raton Resort & Club, Loggerhead Marina, Florida Inland Navigation District and Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and The Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District. Other sponsorships are available – email elilly@ci.boca-raton.fl.us or call 561-393-7827. As is the custom, boats will stop along the route at various docks and pick up donations for needy kids.

I think it will be a good journey.

Several years ago I was on the water and watched the Boat Parade, and the crowds lining the shores, waving. It was a thrilling experience.

Perhaps I'll be able to do it again.

Thank you for your comment.
