The Blessing of the Fleet was held on May 16 and led by Father Fenton from Kilgore. Below are some pictures from the event:
The U-Make-It / U-Sail-It race will be held on June 20, and we hope to start about 11:00am. Same rules as before... you can't use stuff from a real boat. Weapons to impede the competition are allowed - as long as they do not cause physical harm, drowning, dismemberment, or death. There will be at least three races, and awards will be given to the fastest boat, most innovative, and ugliest. Desserts and ice cream social to follow. Bring your family and friends for a great time! And let Mike and Vivienne Denholm know by June 17 how many are in your party so that we'll have enough food.
