San Bernard River holiday parade set


 

Published June 24, 2008

BRAZORIA — It’s a hot time on the San Bernard River, so that means it’s time to show appreciation for all the troops with Friends of the River’s third annual San Bernard River Fourth of July Boat Parade.

The parade will be July 5 and begin at the Churchill Bridge on FM 2611 and travel downriver to 2J’s Café and Marina for an awards dinner. All boat entries and crews are invited to the dinner, where the parade winners will be announced and door prizes given away.

The boats will be judged in three categories: 17-foot and smaller, 17-foot-1 to 24-foot, and 24-foot-1 and larger. First-, second- and third-place plaques will be awarded in each category. The parade will begin at 5 p.m.

Anyone interested in entering a boat should attend a captains’ meeting at 2J’s Restaurant at 7 p.m. July 3.

For information, call the Taylors at (979) 964-4402.

Those who want to sit back and enjoy the parade with friends and family are invited to bring lawnchairs to one of the following viewing areas: High Five Bar and Grill, Las Playas boat ramp, 2J’s Café and Marina or the Churchill boat ramp at FM 2611.

“Come salute our country and thank our soldiers and join the fun,” a Friends of the River press release states.
