F.O.R. SAN BERNARD'S 4TH OF JULY BOAT PARADE –
MAKES A HUGE BANG!
On Saturday, July 5th, F.O.R. presented the
third annual San Bernard River 4th of July
Parade and it was a phenomenal success. More
than a dozen boats, bedecked in red, white, and
blue, in honor of America’s birthday, lined up
under the Churchill Bridge and proudly motored
down the people-lined banks of the San Bernard
to 2J’s Café and Marina where everyone enjoyed a
feast of hot dogs with all the trimmings.
The winners of the boat decorations were:
Best Spirit: Mickey and Brenda Goolsby and Crew;
Best Sound: Bob and Marie Breakiron;
Most Patriotic: Larry and Erma Vacek and Crew;
Most Unusual: Sue Primeau and Johnny Harper;
Best Theme: Darrell and Gloria Powell, David and
Joyce Hooker; and Best Overall: John and Jane
